I can’t see any valid reason for making sarcastic comments about it. Unfortunately it can seem very arrogant and superficial to a lot of people outside America.

Surely the Americans also sent submarines to the desert war? They seem to have sent half their navy at least. Does that have you scratching your head too?
Yes, I can't seem to get the hang of the Origami
swans......

I do respect foreign politicians, but when accused of invading countries and people put words into my mouth (small insignificant?????? Did I say that?????)...now, I am scratching

Of course, sarcastic remarks about making RAMBO my president obviously don't count.....He's only an actor......TOUCHE'! It seems you don't respect OUR THESPIANS...


Americans are arrrogant and superficial!

I mean, who brought you the Hummer, velcro, drive by shootings, Michael Jackson, Puff Daddy and MacDonald's??

There's hell to pay for subjecting the rest of the world to that! And we will pay for everything eventually.....Just put in on my AMEX for the meantime!

The superficiality confounds me......Just because we are obssessed with plastic surgery doesn't mean we are superficial! The rest of the world need not follow.

We only sent half our navy because ALL THE SHIPS wouldn't fit into the Gulf......
Have you seen our aircraft carriers??? I am in agreement, 80 aircraft on one ship.....American overkill.

My only concern is that more people can't find a common thread, laughing about more things and realizing what parody is.

You make valid points...but DUDE.......Loosen up a little!

My fear is dying at my desk, slumped over my keyboard because someone posted a message on the Internet that made me blow a seal...

If I ever met you we could probably sit down and drink some of that watered down crap we call beer over here, laugh, joke around - then get our arses kicked by the cops walking home....

You are a nice guy, you've got chutzpah.....I have no problem with any other country, their politicians or citizens....

It's when people crash airplanes into our buildings, our space shuttles blow up, hurricanes
tear up our cities and our soldiers die on foreign
land ---- that really knocks us down a well deserved notch.....

Americans never seem to learn that we will fail at some point or another.......we just keep trying.

I have to go, my head itches!
