Letter: So many nations despise America
Monday, Feb. 4, 2002 | 8:32 a.m.
We are trying to save the world from terrorism, and in this country we have plenty to go around. We now have corporation terrorism. The top executives getting millions of dollars, the hard-working employees getting the shaft.
This is nothing new, just business as usual. Here we are trying to sell democracy to the whole world, and our leading corporations are showing them a good example of the famous "ugly American." It's no wonder we are despised by many countries. We may think the world is in wonder of our military might, but they also know of our moral and ethical decline. The latter will eventually do us in.
What is the answer to this mess? Enjoy the ride down, my fellow Americans. The sudden stop will kill us all.
