One of the things I most despise about dubya is the cynical,sanctimonious and hypocritical way he keeps coming out with this drivel about freedom for the iraqi people.Freedom my ****...it's freedom for the oil companies and nothing else.FredC said:

No one would want Hilary in the kitchen, LOL. Or apparently in the bedroom either (ask Bill). I, for one, would vote for a conservative woman president. BTW, it is the conservative, non "progressive" Bush that you all hate so much that has a black woman in his most important Cabinet position, not as some friggin' token Surgeon Generalstevebaby said:The constitution of the us requires that the president be native born.Arnie's out.
Do you think that america would elect a woman president?I rather think that there are too many conservatives in the heartland who would see hilary's place as being in the kitchen.Republican or democrat...I don't think they are that progressive.Stranger things (thatcher) have happened though.

Good post. Though let's not forget that Eats, Shoots and Leaves was written by a Brit. Great book for anyone who grinds their teeth over poor spelling and grammar. This bothers me far more than you people criticizing my beloved country!Eldron said:Eldron's advice:
Cry us a river - boo hoo - then build a bridge and get over it.
Nothing personal - I hate everybody.
ps: learn the difference between their and there - that's why I hate americans - they can't spell worth doggy poo.
That and because you're fat, overpatriotic, world series playing, pollution causing, carbon dioxide belching, war waging, rah rah america, loud, obnoxious, suck at real sports, indian killing, finger pointing merkins.
Other than that I really like americans - pan fried with a good merlot.
Ok ok now that you're boiling mad - I was just kidding...
Some of my best friends are americans
It's those aussies I really dislike (feeling better stevebaby - I know you were complaining about oz not receiving it's fair share of hate postings lately).
The french suck too

Ha! Well doesn't everyone?! Keep America as an ally, just don't be an ally. Do you use all your friends in that manner? I know, I know, you're going to say we are using you. But almost everyone in this country likes and admires the UK, and thinks you are sticking with us because we are friends and we stood together during WWII in the face of overwhelming evil and won! People respect your country for hanging so tough. And most people don't read forums like this and realize how much you guys can't stand us

Thanks. We are all smarting a bit about the "violent, money-hungry, uncultured" thing. Besides, we've only had a couple of centuries to create a culture that could rise to the level of The Spice Girls

Count me in the group that is surprised we are loathed so by your average Brit. I count them as our only true ally in the world and would support any action militarily or not to come to their aid should they so need it.
The UK is as naive about the terrorists in their midsts as we were pre 9/11 and it's a shame they don't see it. One will never know how many attacks were prevented in the last 5 years by our actions against terrorists and their funding sources.
Either way.....despite the loathing....I still count the UK as our only true ally.
Bill, i really dont think we are niave about terrorism, we've been dealing with it for a lot longer than the US, plus we just foiled 'the biggest terrorist plot in world history'BillM said:
