I Chuckled....
America has her fair share of "stupid" people just like all countries. We have a lot of "ignorant, uneducated" people because our educational system has failed our youth. When a system graduates a young man just to make him feel good about himself instead of because he has earned a diploma, that is what you get. Maybe, when our country realizes that being "politically correct " is producing too many "ignorant and uneducated" individuals, things will improve and those that need extra help will get it.
*Cough*Bush*Cough*
Your President at the mo, Does not know where half the countries he bombs actually are.
Why have you a failed Education system?
Some one is not focusing on the real issues.
The trouble as I see it with politcs, politicians is they lie.
Tell the truth from the start people would support your actions IMO Alot more.
WE want Saddam out of Power because we want cheaper Oil from Iraq and he is a Nasty dictator.
I probably would have supported that.
The fact that Bush claimed he supported AlQuieda and was a threat to national Security.
Its not like you share a border with this tyranical nation.
Know before you start the flames on me or any other Euro.
I know some americans who are great. Sensible just a different accent.
However...........
Its one thing to be patriotic its another to be a fool.
Americans seem to pull the patriotic card more than any other country and get very defensive when you insult America.
I think my country does so many bad things every day and we have some really stupid people too.
