OK. If you take foreign politics: Better do things after you have learned what it is about and what the other views are. And this has nothing to do with the US doing things different, but for a change: they would understand what they are doing and why.

But until then... ![]() Quote:
Geez, I'm an American and I can't stand the guy ("we all chipped in for a bag of cement" to quote Paul McCartney)... I can understand why others in the global community might seize upon him as an icon of Americanism and maybe not like the rest of us too much..

Nope! people just love to bitch about something.
And I couldn't care less... Let them bitch. I still live in a free country and it suits me just fine... I support President Bush also. I think he is doing just fine...To bad he couldn't go another term. |

It depends on how one would define 'bashing'. If you mean expressing an opinion on current United States policy then as long as it worded in a thoughtful and non-insulting way then it should be fine. However, anyone who verbally attacks any country using foolish generalisations obliviously steps way out of line.
I live in Wales myself and enjoy quite a good western lifestyle. I get to do a lot of things thus I can say I'm not jealous of the United States. I think most people living in the western world would honestly tell you they are not jealous either. Most Europeans will probably have quite different views on a lot of topics then people in the United States and thus will often find themselves erupting in debate. If I may Waste Gate I'd like to ask why you used the word jealousy? Personally if I were to look more closely at the term I might be slightly insulted myself that you'd think I'd be jealous. I'd ask myself, “Dose he think that I'd be jealous because he believes I'm worse off then the average United States citizen as I happen to live in Wales?” Might I venture the question. Why dose it seem that there is so much 'resentment' to the United States? Might I then suggest that you review each releasable response you receive and think about these different point of view. Put yourself in there shoes and perhaps you might understand how and why there is resentment out there. p.s. I did not vote by the way as I have no resentment toward the American people.

Basic US policy hasn't changed in thirty-plus years. Bashing GWB isn't helping your effort. Like I stated earlier congress has either endorsed or allowed everything GWB has done. If anything congress and the people of the US are at fault as much as GWB. |

But I still can remember the days, when someone in the US made smart moves. OT (sorry, but I feel it fits) : Not an example of "smart" but afterwards one of my all-time favorites: "My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you today that I`ve signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes." :rotfl: Guess who was that ? ![]()

Anyone who has been reading this forum regularly over the past few days knows what this thread is really about. I suggest that we move on.
