Thats just sad. But they are in Europe, so I can't really blame them for being so grotesquely misinformed. Its the Americans I am worried about. I keep hearing from native-born Americans about how much they hate America, and are embarassed to be American, and think its an oppressive and hostile nation... well, I got news for ya, "Yank". You have to be pretty damn spoiled to think that America and Israel are the bad guys.
I was born in Soviet Russia. And in Soviet Russia, .. weh, I'm not doing the Smirnoff thing anymore. Its funny how people who have lived all their lives in the friendly, generous, and protective yolk of American society have the nerve to not only take their lives for granted, but also dump the country that made it all possible into the same category as assorted dictators.
America is the only nation in the world with the guts to get out there and do things. Sure, some times mistakes are made instead of plans, but if the only alternative is to sit on our fattening asses and do nothing, then I'd rather move to Australia. At least the view is nicer. But thats not how America works. It is a leader, not a follower. America makes things happen - yes, some times it disturbs those comfortable holes in the sand people buried their heads into, and it makes them upset, but those people have never seen the alternative.
If it wasn't for America, billions of people, myself included, would be DEAD or OPPRESSED. I owe my life and my freedom to this country, and I am not going to let people talk trash about one of the few (and the strongest) bastions of democracy in the world without putting them through some hands-on case studies in oppression.
