I hope they go back in time. Hating the US is not a new phenomenom. It absolutley didn't start with Bush.
I'll be sure to watch it.
After a rather ugly encounter with the desk person at a fairly expensive London hotel about 5 years ago I realized that we aren't loved over there.
If only the world hated terrorists, dictators, and beheading thugs as much.
This has definitly been going on long before G.W. Bush was elected president. These countries have a paranoia that is unbelievable. This is especially true of France. France has not been a factor on the international scene for a couple of centuries. Because of this paranoia and the great desire to become a factor in world affairs, France has made a pact, I believe, with the muslim world.
We won't find any document establishing this agreement, it is in their dialogue tohough. France is willing to go to any lengths even selling their honor. They will sell out Isreal and the rest of Europe so that they may be on top of the heap.
They have been found out and they know it, hence their expediting of their "Leadership" within the Politics of the Muslim world. It is all a trap for Europe and the US. No matter which way we go, we lose. The minds of the Europeans have been so poisoned against the US and Isreal that they may or are demonstrating against us openly.
Hope has reared it's ugly head from the French Point of view. THe more light that is shed on the Oil for Food program, the worse it becomes for France and her allies. The more killings the Muslim immigrants do in their new adopted countries, the louder the warning sirens shrill. The Dutch problem will not go away.
Other Europeans will start to notice the Muslim inroads into their own countries and the bubble will burst. Right in France's Face! They have a great problem of thier own with the Muslim population in France, The French people may not be able to rescue their own country. The fact is that Europe has forgotten their own history with the Muslim nations.
Europe should tend to it's own backyard, because they will feel the knife at their own throats, much sooner than later. I am tired of this country bleeding for the continuous mistakes of the europeans and their petty greedy arguments and jealousies.
We here in th US should prepare to defend our Constitutional Republic from our enemies, BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.
Yeah, all these newsgroups sure know how to put out anti-American sentiment fires - with kerosene and fans!
As with half the American citizens, Canadians and any other anti-American group tossing insults to the U.S., the people EVERYWHERE only know what they read/hear through their media. The propaganda against us is quite good. IMO, the path was started in Britain by the anti-Blair newspapers during the Clinton years. From there, it spread as a feasible tool for the heads of individual nations. Chirac, the parrot; Putin, when it suits his mood or latest scheme;
Chancellor of Germany, according to the pressure of the day; Spain, "you're rocking our boat and we're closer to the terrorists than you are."
But that's the European way. Remember, they all yearn to leave home and emigrate to here!
What year was it that "The Ugly American" came out. This has been festering since not long after world war II. When America emerged powerful both economically and politically, the old world powers didn't like it one little bit, and our standard of living is the ENVY of the world, spawning disdane....hmmm, guess my gut feel is Tough SH!%
When schoolchildren believe for some reason that GW is behind 9/11, we have a problem. In my cousin's experience, some do.
The reason for the instant sympathy of the other countries when we were struck on 9-11 was because they thought it made us just like them. They thought we would curl up into a ball and do nothing, just as they have. Instead we stood up and did something about it. That is unforgivable in the european mind because it shows how weak they have become.
CNN is perpetuating the deception globally.
Anti-American propaganda? What about anti-american actions - like selling out american workers by giving their jobs to foriegn nationals. Is subversion a lower priority to deal with than attempted subversion? I mean, it's noble enough to stand and shout down a guy who's threatening you're brother's life - but what good is that if you're doing so while you defend the guy who's actually cutting your brother's throat at the same moment?
