OUR READER NELSON CANDELARIA: OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT PUTIN
Russia was a democracy; is it a plutocracy today? Why this question? Socialists live in real democracy, while the Western Hemisphere is otherwise plutocratic. Look up these words in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary on the web: - “Plutocracy: 1. Government by the wealthy. 2. A controlling class of the wealthy. More details...

OUR READER PAUL BASSAW: CLUSTER BOMBING IN AFGHANISTAN
The U.S. has now shown that it has no moral right to classify anyone as a terrorist, including those responsible for the WTC attack. It is as much a terrorist as Al-Quaeda since in its blind rage for the WTC attack, it is prepared to kill innocent civilians using cluster bombs in Afghanistan despite the world-wide ban on the use of this type of weapons.

OUR READER DAVE FULLER: I KNOW THAT US AND RUSSIA HAVE LIKE THOUGHTS AND DESIRES
Most of my life, first as the son of an American soldier and later as one myself, I had to think about what would happen if our two countries became embroiled in armed conflict. Thankfully, these past years have been blissfully free of that unwanted burden. Today, I know that our people can be friends. I also know that we have like thoughts and desires. I also know that the biggest difference between us is simply that of language. More details...

OUR READER DREW SEYBEL: ANTI-AMERICANS FROM WITHIN OUR COUNTRY HAVE FOUND PRAVDA.RU A FRIENDLY STAGE
I am deeply saddened when I read the "Letters to the Editor" section of the otherwise objective reporting in PRAVDA.Ru. Many of the letters you post from [so called Americans] do not reflect the attitudes of the majority of our citizens. President Bush enjoys a higher satisfaction rating than any previous President, over 90% approval.The support America is receiving from her allies is overwhelming, and growing each day.

OUR READER SYD HARRIS : DEMOCRACY IS MORE THAN SIMPLY A NOUN
Pravda is a most welcome addition to the new world of inter-net news. As an American fed on a well managed diet of selective news, there is much in this shrinking world which affects our lives and our destinies. Our supposedly democratic system of society with its cherished principles of freedom and individual rights has become a carnival of sunshine, flag-waving patriots, caught up in a sense of righteous rebellion against a world of which they little about and understand even less.

JIMMY TIDWELL: YOU CAN'T JUST DO NOTHING AND WAIT...
I would like people who don't agree with what the US is doing to make suggestions as to what they would do. You can't just do nothing and wait untill al-Qaida is ready to murder thousands of good hard working people again. People from all walks of life and all nations. People who was doing no injustice to the murderers. Someone had to get started on terrorist before they have time to build weapons of mass destruction and murder all civalized people.

ANOUNIMOUS READER: CONDITION OF AMERICA -- A CITIZEN'S QUESTIONS FOR THOUGHT
I have been reading non-American newspapers, particularly letters to the editor, in the past few days in an effort to see what people from other countries think about the latest catastrophe that has occurred on American soil, which has unfortunately had such a devastating effect the world over. I have not been particularly surprised by any of them. More details...

JOHN J. DONNA: WE, THE PEOPLE OF EARTH, CAN AWAKEN AND TAKE CONTROL OF OUR DESTINY
It is only in changing ourselves that our world will change. No external change in governmental or economic systems, even planetary unification, no external achievement, even victory in World War III, will bring peace, order, and security to Earth unless the external visible change is matched by the hidden inner transformation brought about as our people seek and find peace within.

JOE WERTZ: I AM SICK OF MY GENERATION'S IGNORANCE
As a 15 year old American student, I am sick of my generation's ignorance and "refusal-to-think" attitude, especially concerning the recent attacks and aftermath. This pop culture state-of-mind has infused in America's young generation a lackadaisical approach toward producing one's own beliefs and opinions. More details...
