1st, Halx, thankyou for being aware of life outside the US. Every year fewer high school students can identify europe, asia, or even the middle east on a map.
as an american resident in europe for more than 13 years, I´ve watched the temperature rise and fall. It´s never been as ugly as it is at the present. GWB really has alienated the entire international community. Relations between US and historically valuable and untouchable allies have been damaged to an almost unknown degree. Bushgang politics have reinforced the arguments of paranoid anti global corporation orwellian drum beating hippies worldwide. Not to mention some of the most intelligent political thinkers and analysts of our time.
you would think that experience and sheer common sense would have taught us a few things. why do we daily sink deeper into national fear and mistrust of any country lacking 7-11s? because we are told this is the new reality. this is how it´s going to be. forever.
thankfully, you folk are the exception to the law of american ignorance and apathy.
even you sad misguided bush buddies.You actually search out information that you would never recieve otherwise. american media has never hit a lower point. in europe we get casualties and informed opinion. in the US you get martha stewart and fox news.
when i tell people i´m from the states, i always feel obliged to add, "but, i´m one of the good ones. there´s a bunch of us. scouts honor."
