Your perception is unfortunately quite twisted. I have nothing against America or Americans, quite a few of whom I am proud to count among dear friends. In fact, I know so many sweet, cultivated, intelligent Americans that I know well that this kind of reactionary juvenile behaviour at non-Americans is not the norm. Yes, I don't agree with the policies of the current US administration. No, that does not mean I resent the US or Americans in general. Just like one can disagree with Sharon's policies without being anti-Semite. In fact, quite a few Jewish Israelis do. you use illegitimate hyperbole to denounce the US or it's government What on earth is "illegitimate hyperbole"? why? because I think you're dishonest Then, assuming you are an adult who comes to conclusions rationally rather than on childish whims, you must have reasons to think so. Prove it. Show what I have said that was later shown to be dishonest. Otherwise, back off with your mudslinging. Your post, as a whole, looks like one written by a child and goes more or less "I don't like you because you don't like us, nah nah nah". Which isn't even true, at least in my case. Do you have anything to say about the issue we are talking about, or not? btw, I make a damn good cheerleader I am sure you do. It's a pity we never get the chance to see you shake it up. You might even be a good companion in a civil debate. It is a bigger pity that I never get to see it. Maybe one day, if you can accept the possibility that others might criticize your country's current administration only because they don't agree with it, and not necessarily because they hate you, your country, and all your countrymen. That day, we might possibly have a civil conversation about those criticisms. Until then.... au revoir.
