its a huge problem in the world. one interesting thing about Europe and the US is that in Europe when there is a news story, they refer to the country - i.e. "Iraqis said XXX" or the "Americans said XXX". In the US, the media does not generally do that and they will refer more often to individuals. This is big reason why countries as whole are so biased against each other.
Europeans treat each other like sports teams - "the Italians did this" - "the French said that" and so on. Here, they would refer to the relevant person "Prime Minister Tony Blair said..."
this is the beginning of a lot of political confusion and tension. You are causing this as well by your ignorant debates about "americans" when even a cursory scan of the board, or watching, reading or listening to American media would show that most people are deeply divided on most issues.
show me all the posts and quotes of people debating any politics and standing behind the word "freedom". you brought it up. no one else did. Bush may use the word "freedom" "defending freedom" etc etc when it comes to whacking out Saddam Hussein - but you have not heard one person here say that.
I dont see any connection to fucking up saddam hussein and "freedom". I see a deep need to take him out based on the threat he represents to the world, his past track record, his illegal weapons programs, his defiance of the UN and UN Security Council. He is a physical threat to people in the world and particularly in the region. he is not a threat to "freedom"
you are the one taking the words of a few and extrapolating it to apply it to many.
you are wrong.
America is ignorant of Europe, its history and its cultures.
Europe is equally ignorant of Americans and American Culture.
you are showing your ignorance right now and trying to disguise it as a serious ideas about people you dont know and a place you know nothing about.
