Throughout history — as here in America — MOST citizens of a nation people are most often decent, hard-working folk who simply wish to live their lives surrounded by their families and friends.
Also throughout history, it is not most citizens who are the problem between nations. It is the power-hungry megalomaniacs and elites running them — either by force or so-called “popular election” who are the problem.
This citizen of THIS nation is saddened that so many citizens of YOUR nation have been victims of a devastating earthquake — especially the children — and earnestly hopes you are able to recover from this disaster and move on to rebuild your lives and correct the clearly major problems with your government — as we will the less serious problems with ours.
Peace!
You are an optimist, I see.
