Welcome to Free Republic--
Do you think anyone over there would take kindly to you communicating with Americans. We hear that America is full of "dumb people" according to a lot of Europeans.
I take it, if you enjoy this website, that you don't have that opinion of us. Perhaps, you could try to tell some of your friends that some of we Americans can actually think and speak in full sentences. HA!!!!!!!!
dear sir/madam,
you would be surprised at how many people here in Holland are pro US, sure we have a lot of rabid US haters here too but I would say that in my direct surroundings, family, friends and colleagues, we are 80% pro America. I have a huge US flag in my living room next to my equally huge Netherlands flag (picture availabe on request :-)
but much like in America, the press here is firmly in the hands of the socialist rabble rousers, with few exceptions, the reason you don't hear about Euro's who are pro US is probably also that your press (CNN, CBS, the Dan Rather crew) only shows the anti US idiots from here, and the French of course. I admit there are many US haters here, but you would be surprised at how many US supporters are around here, believe me.
