Um, sorry, before anyone replies, I realised I made it sound like I was saying Republican half: bad, Democratic half: good - and I certainly didn't mean that, nor to specify a hard political or religious group divide. Nor did I really mean to specify a 50% split in terms of good/bad. Obviously the good is in the majority. We just never hear about them in our press or at our dinner tables! GBA! Goodnight!

There's a lot of anti-Americanism in Britain since George was elected, and since the war - and since before that, too, but less poisonously. Obviously it can get even worse in France and some other European countries, let alone the rest of the world. Your foreign policy hasn't helped - it seems State Dept decisions have always been made by fourteen year olds. Your constitution, though, remains a beautiful thing, despite the constant attacks on it from all sides by those in power. And I love America. I love all the good stuff, and there's a LOT of it. I go as often as I can, and if we Brits were allowed to apply for the green card lottery, I'd be applying as often as possible. (To stay a few years, though, there's too many other places to go as well) Half of you are crazy, thoughtless, greedy, parochial and irrational, but only half. Europeans and others should never forget how close the 2000 election was - and that for every American in the spotlight doing Bad Things, there's another American doing Good. If you speak to a lot of people in Britain and I dare say in continental Europe these days, you wouldn't believe it. I always make it my personal mission to Correct them, Grady/Overlook style.
