Michael, Americans can't be anti-American. Americans are by definition American. So what they say is American defines what American is. American is a generalisation, and the dominant characteristics form the national character and defines American.

Your particular ideology isn't the definition of American. American is an amalgam of nearly 300 million people and surprising though it might seem, they aren't all clones. There is a vast array of ideas, opinions, cultures.

What you mean is that your opinion seems to you to be in a minority in FADG. That doesn't make it an anti-American propaganda factory.

You must admit that it's a bit of a giggle how Saddam's noocular weapons, and other weapons of mass destruction have disappeared like BigFoot and the Loch Ness Monster just when the crowds have arrived with their cameras. You must admit that it's a bit of a giggle that King George II and co claim it's not about oil.

America's strategic interest in the area is oil. Not dates, sand and access to Mecca.

You must admit that it's a bit of a giggle that the USA is not empire building, but they aren't doing anything to restructure the UN, sign up to International Criminal Courts and generally push a global democracy, though constantly ranting cant about the great wonders of democracy.

Perhaps it's YOU who are anti-American. America is for freedom, democracy, capitalism, peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love. Not to mention the amazing CDMA2000 phragmented photon cyberspace light sabre - the mechanism to deliver American values to all. If you have a problem with that, bring it on. We can deal harshly with you and bring you to justice.

Already, Globalstar is delivering those qualities to Iraq. EVERYWHERE in Iraq, to the farthest corner of the most remote sand. Globalstar is CDMA. Unfortunately, the anti-American King George II administration has gone over to the dark side and authorized an evil GSM system to be installed in Baghdad. But goodness, ethics will overcome in the end.

Mqurice

Edit... ooops, I see you stood corrected. Oh well, a shame to waste a perfectly good rant. Please accept that I stand corrected, though not in the sense that Bush's crowd has adopted anti-American policy with their GSM network instead of CDMA2000 and denial of UN importance.
