bush said 'you're either with us, or with the terrorists.'
hillary is the one who voiced the 'with us/against us' line that upset the euro poster i was responding to.

+1

Reading some of these comments, one gets the idea that we Yanks are urinating in the Roman Forum, spraying graffiti on the Acropolis, and vomiting off the Eiffel Tower.

Good grief! Most Americans are quite enamored with Europe and delight in visiting there.

i agree. i work daily with folks from bulgaria, hungary, china, india, UK, cameroon, etc. etc., and they have a uniformly good opinion of Americans, if not US foreign policy.

according to that list, Americans are ranked ninth best - behind sweden but ahead of denmark.

I'm probably more sensitive because I'm from the US, but it disgusts me that many US citizens act like animals when in other countries.
Oh please! Like this sort of thing never happens in the US with foreign visitors. Give me a break. No country is exempt from having idiots and nobody can tell which country has the most. Give it up.
