Don't worry about the anti-Americanism? Are you kidding? I was on a British blog a few nights ago and was appalled by the absolute hate for America and Americans that was predominate there. Where I live I run into a lot of German and Brit tourists. I have all I can do to be polite to any of them. Hate begets hate, as the saying goes, and it certainly is working for me. How long do you think Americans will accept the constant unrelenting hate and insults that Europe throws our way without any retribution?

My boss went to England in April (business/pleasure trip). I asked how she enjoyed her trip. Her answer was "Never, never, never, never again. I hate the British people!" As more and more Americans come home from Europe after bad experiences they are going to stop going. I wouldn't walk across the street to visit people who hate me, why would I cross an ocean? The only view most of us get of Europe is the never ending criticisms and disdain. It's taking a toll. Sad.
