I'm glad that you're able to see some of us as worthy of forgiveness despite our sins. It is my hope that you can expand your compassion beyond those who protect your own interests. The bottom line is, as I have stated in my essay, and you are welcome to provide a counter argument to it, the United States is far more guilty for the violence and oppression that takes place on this planet than Russia is. It's not even close. That's my point, disprove it if you can.
