One's neighbor is always the enemy. That is the nature of things.
Reality is something the human race doesn't handle very well.
USA belongs to a handful of men who also control the media. Look at General Electric. It produces nuclear weapons for the Pentagon and also owns the NBC News cable channel, which is a very sophisticated censure apparatus, intrinsic to the system. It's genius.

I regard monotheism as the greatest disaster ever to befall the human race.
