Also meanwhile: no doubt the people in the small town that used to work on the vineyard now had to live off picking their noses. Now really. That is modern capitalism my friends. And America is the champion of that. You really think these poor peasants in Bulgaria will love us all, and America in particular, for kicking them out off their jobs?

You are right, of course. But most Americans don't even have a passport and rely on some 20-something scumbag Reuters correspondent to give them the truth about the disaster that is post-communism. They simply DO NOT KNOW what has happened to all those people who believed in America and who wanted no hand-out from America, but rather just hoped for a level playing field after the evil scourge of communism was defeated. What did they get? Poverty worse than anything they ever knew under communism and the indignity of seeing the former communist ruling class as the best friend of the Western international capitalist class. What a farce! But Americans do not see this because they do not travel and they do not speak foreign languages.

You seem to dislike American "meddling". Would you prefer Soviet meddling, like the enslavement of half of Europe for 50 years?

I do travel. I do speak foreign languages. I do think that someone who's best argument is to claim his opponents are ignorant hasn't got much of an argument. Two differences between us. I don't wear a tin foil hat. I did vote for President Bush.
