That is nice Blair, keep your comments to yuorself. People can do whatever they want, hate whoever they want in a free and open society.
Oh wait, they can only do that if they support Uncle Sam.

Are you joking?
If they "ran" the planet, then this Iraq thing would be over, wouldn't it?

Gives me heartburn something fierce.

im not anglo saxon
but i have blue eyes
and dirty blonde hair
and i hate the klan
is that what you meant that we could hate the klan
Toro have you noticed that the KKK's uniform resembles the Berka only it's white? Wow such brave men wanting to be controlled by the female race. The KKK isn't about free speech it's about a group of men that lack something called moral fiber/fibre and fear something so small inside of themselves (like their small penis and IQ) they must lash out at a small segment of society. Cowards, cowards.
P.S. If Bush doesn't get re-elected who will the rest of the world blame for all their woes. Gasp, Canada perhaps.

in reality not even the psychotic extremist cortez and his type HATE america or are anti-american--
as ive said before the progressive TRULLY democratizing aspects of american society are in concert with our beliefs---even a source of inspiration
the strong langauge that flows so freely from our lips is in part a reaction to the the rather shocking and brutal FACT of illegal war and the strong language used to support it.
much of world opinion appears to be anti-american because-- at the moment much of the world is convinced that americas foreign interventions since say ww2 have for the most part apparently not been furthering the general global good--- despite what its leaders might say----
granted this may be a mis-perception---
but the case i think is at least debatable and defendable
if and when america is seen to act in concert with basic principles of international law to trully serve the global good -- or at least not diminish it -- then this
so called anti americanism will go away
people who accuse us of being anti american are those who actually belive that america IS in fact serving the global good now
we believe they are kidding themselves given the historical facts

Cortez would have us believe this anti-Americanism is but a blip, I tell you it has been around since before the US was an independent country. Those are historical facts.
From experience the best the brightest and the truly gifted are often belittled. The USA should never cower to those that are well jealous.

its just this kind of statement that blows me away
in what way is the rest of the world blaming the US for all there woes...
they are being blamed for the consequences of very specific foreign interventions
youd think the country of iraq was some kind of ficticious place
no matter how often this topic comes up
we ALWAYS have to begin from square ONE again
it would be as if every time someone were to attempt to discuss WW2- people would say
oh yes the germans always the scapegoats
all that rapid anti german sentiment
etc.
I think not said:
every nation has enemies
thats not antiamericanism
the criticisms of american policy since ww2-- come also largely from within the US itself-- how do you explain that
is it possible that many americans disagree with the course their govermnent has set and are within their rights to express those concerns and attempt to alter what appears to be an unethical course for them.
it very simple those who cannot defend the current actions of the US labell their legitamite critics anti- american rather than provide a rational defense
labelling someone antiamerican is a cheap and dirty trick --
ie-- what .. you object to illegal war
you object because you dont like us boo hoo
very childish
the trully sad fact is that the US, in my opinion has squandered the opportunity for becoming a true global world leader..
theyve blown it
its too bad
I would rather the grand US military imperialist adventure TOTALLY fail, if only for my friends in the US.. fail SO BADLY that some serious reconsideration may even be required, ....

It's more important to them that America fails, than
for Iraq to succeed as a viable peaceful nation.

I'm not going to constantly repeat myself Cortez, I've made my positions clear what I deem to be anti-Americanism and what isn't, you can shuffle through 6000 posts of mine and read for yourself. What is a cheap trick is how some play the ALL anti-American card. Nobody ever said being anti-American is criticizing US foreign policy, or domestic for that matter. And if the US has dissapointed you not being a beacon of socialism, well too bad, maybe China will fulfill your dreams.
Re: RE: Anti-Americanism is madness, says Blair.
i think the point of the post was that if american fails---
it might reconsider its policy of pre-emptive strike-- and choose another more productive strategy
imperialism - is not something i believe most americans want their country to participate in

I think not said:
no china would not
fulfill my anything
i think that the oppurtuinity for any one nation to fulfill the role of global leader-- in justice-- not specifically socialism-- has passed -- i think the US might have been the best candidate
but they blew it
i blame myself
i sincerely didnt mean that you ITN have played this card
but wanted to point out that its often played at the slightest provocation on order to stifle debate
many people do infact equate criticism of us policy with antiamericanism
