I hope Irish anti-Americanism is exaggerated. I could care less what the rest of the world thinks, but whenever I hear of British anti-Americanism, or Irish anti-Americanism, I get a pang.....I mean, that is where my family is from! I hope many of them realize they probably have American relatives that they know nothing about. The English surnames carried by my family members are fairly common, as are the Irish ones. I am sure I have traceable relatives from both countries that I, unfortunately, will never know.

I love the Irish, but I also descend from the Norse invaders, so I guess I could go either way.

At least 100 million Americans have ancestors from the British Isles, including Ireland. What they say and do has more meaning to us as a nation than they realize over there.
