Title:Only brainwashed people consider other people enemies...

Setting up other people as the enemy is pure government propa-
ganda and indeed it`s caused by their imperialistic ambitions.

People in of themselves are not natural enemies. In the US many different ethnic groups live together and there is not a police on
the corner when needed. In fact, he has to be called if there is a problem.

But there is nothing atypical about this Live and Let Live attitude
either. Most animals don`t attack their own kind. Perhaps there
are a few who do but most species don`t attack their own.

That takes government programs and indoctrination programs
like the army and security services, etc...

People should move beyond their government and build a better life
for themselves and their people as the US historian Howard Zinn ad-vises in his column. See the URL below. Dutch
