I enjoy writing about political/ economic events, and I am especially concerned about the US as a warlike nation. I would like to see this nation turn itself around from a conquering nation in both commerce and war to a nation of peace. I hope that we can build fair trade based on mutual interests, and respect other countries enough to allow them to make their own decisions.
