Just curious... Where in Europe are you? Because I used to work with an old German gentleman and as he put it, American tanks don't make as much noise as Russian tanks. And I suppose that many other Europeans saw Germany as being unstoppable until the allies turned the Nazis back.

I think the answers you are refering to were intended to be sarcastic as the posters saw your original post as being ignorant. Look at some of the other posts these people you view as ignorant have made. Their response I believe they felt was on par with the worth of your question. And education here as anywhere will only give back what you put into it. Seaver's or anyone's assesment of European tax rates is not a measurement of education. American colleges have students from all over the globe so there are those who do not share your views on American colleges. And I doubt that there are not illiterate people where you are.

Hitler? That statement would make me wonder if anyone in Germany even knew who Hitler was except that I believe this is your opinion more than fact. My son just returned from Iraq and despite what you see in the news there are even people there that don't hate Bush.

And nobody will here. You don't want convinced. And that is why some of the other posters that you assumed as ignorant and uneducated didn't invest a great deal of time in trying to convince you.
