It's just I knew an American from another board that was very anti-British, Europe, anywhere else. Plus I can be a bit defensive anyway.
The problem I think started when Bush said "You're either with us or with the terrorists." Since then, people like Greg Palast and Michael Moore (who altough I think is a superb film-maker is prone to OTT tangents) have had to take this extreme view, to be representatives in a way. It's not healthy for debate, and it could have very serious repurcussions (note the increasing influence of the BNP)
:
: I am not American.
: I was not criticising Eddie Izzard either.
: I also did not plegde a blind allegiance to all that is the US.
: My comments were a small snapshot of observation that I can't get away from, that is confirmed every day of the week.
