For all the talk of ignorance, I just wanted to add something.
I see many people here continually mentioning that America saved Europe in WW2. This may be true and I'm sure it was welcome at the time but they did not enter WW2 until 1941, two years into the war. This only really woke the US up because there was an attack on the US itself (Pearl Harbour).
Now, while it's understandable for the US to enter the war after an attack on a US base, I find all the comments about "saving your ass" or claims that European countries would "stand back and watch" America getting attacked are a bit uninformed. The US did the same fucking thing when the Nazi's stormed over Europe. This is just one example of the kind of stuff you should know before mouthing off about loyalties and suchlike. If you're going to call people ignorant, make sure you know what you're talking about.
Now, I have no problems with the majority of American culture and I am fully aware that there are many good, decent American people but the kind of attitudes I've read in this thread are potentially going to be the downfall of the US. You can say "fuck you" to as many countries as you like but when you realise you're more dependent on other countries than you think, you'll begin to understand the need for diplomacy. This will become more and more apparent as resources like oil run out. If the US pulled out of everywhere and isolated itself, I suspect it wouldn't be so wealthy.
As for the comments on sending immigrants home, your whole fucking country was built by immigrants! That's what makes it such a potentially cool place to live and why I feel it's a shame some people slate the whole country simply because of Bush. For example, I visited New Orleans recently and the place is fucking cool. I still think some your government's international policies are wrong but I don't hate the US. Get it?
And finally....no, I don't sympathise with muslim terrorists either. I just wanted to get that in as some moron always believes the "with us or against us" crap.
I expect to be called a liberal fag or something similar but that's OK. I don't expect many civilised or reasoned responses anyway. I'm just bored and wanted to pass time. And now, I'll fuck off as I suspect this will be another reply.
