Re: America and Europeans
Following in the lines described above for Europe, I believe that the relation of Europe with America must be, in general terms, similar or like the relations with other countries/blocks in the world.
It might be the case that there is a Black president in Washington. Not something unthinkable of when today the Secretary of State, Congoleezza Rice, is a Black woman. So what? If you can have diplomatic and commercial relations with Nigeria, Mozambique or Zimbabwe, why not with the U.S. of America?
That on the grand picture of a hopeful future. On the smaller and more immediate picture, Nationalism in Europe must not go hand in hand with Racialism in America. Their particular status quo and their objectives are different to ours, and so are their lines of action. If they fail (and they will) we must not follow them into suicide. We owe them nothing but this miserable world of today.
