@newcrasher Its nothing against any individual, and I am not judging you at all. Its just a irrational dislike off americans, nothing to change about it. You know, sometimes people really are irrational human beings. Its probably mostly my image off america that I got from movies, which is why its irrational, any logical conclusion would be that I have to little data to make any sort off conclusion. ---

1. No 2. Male 3. 48 When the rumblings began about an invasion of Iraq, I couldn’t believe they were serious. I wondered how a guy in middle America with no experience in governmental or foreign affairs (me) could clearly see that it was wrong on so many levels. I thought surely they know something I don’t. I was proven right about my initial thoughts and wrong on the whole Washingtonians knowing more than I do thing. ---
