Literally yes, though I think you rather miss the point of it, but at a certain point literary interpretations take second place to common usage. The term Ugly American has been common in worldwide usage over the last half-century, with the accepted meaning that Ed ascribed to it. Graham Greene would not have disagreed, IMO. > > God Bless America.

That's a little ambiguous in its phrasing, Mr Williams, but the most likely interpretation is that you support the views that Ed, Gustl and others took issue with, mainly these: >The bulk of the planet is infested by wogs who wear loin cloths an >throw sticks >at each other.

Your postings on this list since you joined a few months back have largely been characterised by hit-and-run tactics - you sneer, you talk a load of fact-free rubbish, when you're called on it you slide away and don't respond, then come back later and do it again. This is a discussion list, the universal rules of social discourse apply. You wouldn't get away with such tactics in a face-to-face discussion, you wouldn't even attempt it, and you'll no longer get away with them here. So respond, state your case, no prevarication or obfuscation, and be quick about it.
