What a shame!
Can't recall now who was that wise Freeper who noted that, if not the American charity, contemporary Europe wouldn't live in a dreamworld where wellfare, equality, rule of law are something apparent.
This is true not only for Europe. Reflexive anti-Americanism is something usual for New Zealand as well. Don't people here understand that, if not America, they would speak now German as the best case scenario, but much more likely Japaneese or Russian?
And in very close future - Indonesian?
