[quote]There are no simple truths in politics and no silver bullet for all of our problems, but believing an entire class of Americans to be wholy deluded, wholy misled, or wholy evil is certainly not a path to any solution.[/quote] I agree with this sentiment.

It's not due to some trivial foreign policy decision. The 9/11 attack was planned on Clinton's watch. If Bill
French intellectuals like to sniff that Americans have no culture and no history. They're right partially on the latter's account, most Americans have no sense of history and it's a good thing for the French that they don't. The French play the "We've always been friends with the Americans" on the naive American public who seem to actually believe it. A few A
The war in Iraq brought the lingering difference between Americans and Europeans into stark relief. Europeans were against the war, for the most part and Americans were for it, for the most part.

I need another creative outlet. A place where I can talk about things. Controversal things.
