As a member and American, I appreciate the content of this post, and as someone who recognizes that the rest of the world has some valid reasons to be resentful, I would normally appreciate hearing other POVs. But, as a PsychCentral (mental health support forum) moderator, I'm concerned that this will turn into a political discussion.

Please keep the tone of this thread to support, since that is the reason for PsychCentral. Not for political debate.

Thanks,
LMo
