Harry, I don't think they hate us just for the war in Iraq. Many in europe and other Socialist societies hate us because their standard of living is falling and their economy's are either stagnating or falling apart. It's like the neighbor in the run down house next door is watching you add on, modernize, go on vacations, send the kids through school, buy big fancy cars, all the while they're eating spam. They smile and wave as you're going down the driveway, but as soon as you turn to go down the street they give you the finger.

The amazing thing about the current state of affairs is that many in this country still use europe as a model.....???

to those who listen to rupert murdoch: you have someone tell you, as a patriotic american, who to hate? that's pretty lame... mature people can make their own minds up... since i'm half french, i guess you should hate me then, but that's only because a multi-billionaire orders Fox News to "bash" the french or germans for no reasn... yet again, i am arguing with someone who is saying that the french, germans and now italians are with the terrorists since they don't support the war in iraq...

you should all read this, and maybe you'll realize what the people you "hate" were saying might be right, which was you guys didn't know what you were getting yourselves involved into...

remember that time when rumsfeld predicted iraqis would be singing and praising the americans in the streets... i saw that a few times, but it sure has been a long time... oh and remember when cheney said the insurgency is in its last throaes... but then rumsfeld said it might last 10 years... why do you keep listening and putting your faith into these people? you're the kind of person and the reason why the world is disliking the US more day after day... and this time, its my half-american side that feels that its a shame that people from my country can be as oblivious as you...

harry, the sad thing is people actually think the way you mentioned in your message... that's just sad...
