I am a young American, and after traveling abroad I just could not bring myself to go "back home." Not only to the politics disgust me in my beloved America. Yes, I have fled--but I am also left with a deep sense of sorrow because, like the comment before mine, I don't want to give up on the US. I want to continue fighting (from overseas) for freedom and realization of all the wrong directions our country is headed in. My relationship with the US is something hard to describe and difficult to understand... but I think all us "ex-patriots" should not give up our home-land, our love. We need to keep demonstrating and fighting and supporting independent media; can the same system set up hunderds of years ago not also be our saving grace in these days?

...and about the Nazi reign--I live in Berlin now. The similarities between the Nazi party and the Bush administration are horrifying. I wish more countries would step in and save us from our madness.
