Mr.
Byrne also seemed to contend that a moral test for America's allies should be a
prerequisite for establishing foreign policy. I contend that morality within a political
machine that has become amoral has become arbitrary, and is relative only to the interests
of the empire. We see this in the abuse of the terms democracy, and human rights. Such
concepts are used as mere pretexts to give moral credibility to the empire's acts of
aggression. When he referred to the non interventionist policies endorsed by Mr. Buchanan
as the arguments of "an international gangster," it would more realistic to
indict the interventionist policies of the empire and it's satellites as international
gangsterism.
Empires seem to have of destroying the national life of a people. For instance, you may
find Italian people today, but you will find no Romans.
Patrick Buchanan is right. The United States of America is an empire, totally hardened to
the heartbeat of it's national ethnic foundation. Your writer tries to put petty
meaningless labels on Patrick, but you in Serbia of all peoples on the face of the Earth
should understand the imperial nature of the present American governing powers. These
powers in fact distort the national experience of the American Nation,and are hostile to
it. We are a materially prosperous people, but we are being shorn of our identity, and our
heritage as a people.
People the world over will someday after a great deal of pain realize that the so called
international community (controlled by an anti national Washington elite) is nothing but
raw imperial power bent upon the subjugation of humanity. How many more little countries
will be bombed into the stone age on some moral pretext, before the civilized nations of
the world realize that we sit upon the threshold of an unparalleled age of barbarism
disguised in the clothing of a promised utopia.

In
regard to your recent book review of Patrick Buchanan's new book A
Republic, not an Empire. Your writers understanding of the American Republic's
experience is as out of touch with reality, as is the understanding of most American born
journalists.I belong to families that trace their roots to the earliest foundings of the
American colonies, and have dug deeply into the nature, the history and the heritage of my
people.
