He forgot to honor the document that permitted all of the above. The greatest document written is the Constitution of the United States of America!

Wow!

I think all this hate going around is going to have actual consequences for all of us some time in the not too distant future. If Iraq becomes a success, it will only get worse. Shame and hate are a bad combination...

Thanks.

Hopefully, Michael will also soon see the wisdom of keeping
the likes of Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, et al, out of his
yard.

"The last straw was, in itself, not particularly significant."

I hate to nit-pick with the author (really the editor should have caught it) but, by definition, the last straw is insignificant.

Other than that, great piece, thanks from this American. And I hope that silly Sheryl Crow learns a lesson; although she probably thinks that if Jean Francois Kerry were pres. it never would have happened. In fairness I must add that I'm not 100% sure the French don't just hate Armstrong because he's won their race so many times.

Thank You for an inspiring post.

And know that many of us were comforted by envisioning the French spittle landing on their own cyclists who were trailing Lance Armstrong...

We have just as much America-hating and America-bashing from the dims in our own country.

It might be nice if we did something to encourage articles of this sort.
