“Don’t call this country ‘America’”
Most excellent article, from Gonzalo’s new blog…

it begins
“If ever there was a time to break the habit of calling this country “America,” as if no other nations existed in this hemisphere, it is in the current era of Permanent War and arrogant empire-building.
“If ever there was a time for people in this white-dominated super-power to reject its racist contempt for 20 other American countries that happen to be of color, it is right now as Bush charges from one racist war to another.
“If ever there was a time when all of us need to expose the denial of truth, the hidden histories of crimes against humanity by the U.S., it is today when monumental lies have become the real weapons of mass destruction. . .”
Gonzalo’s blog, mostly about life as an immigrant to United States from Peru (and shenanigans 
), is eloquent and powerful, and can be found here.
