In every American there is an air of incorrigible innocence, which seems to conceal a diabolical cunning.

The whole idea of this site is great but it gets silly… Tell me how all this complaining is going to solve anything? The Europeans seem to do the most of this. We will never do anything right in your eyes. My suggestion to them is to take a look at yourselves. Why would America want your counsel? When we stand by and do nothing we are accused of being inept, when we act because you are too impotent, you complain of unilateralism. I can’t imagine why a country would act in its own self interest...honestly for shame on us!? We are the considered the greatest murders in history, even though the facts show that it is the Europeans that hold this title. It was you who made the 20th century the most bloody in history, with your world wars, and death on an industrial scale. It is your governments' ineptness to be bold enough to stand up for yourselves that gives America the power she has. All your hate and innuendo do nothing but strengthen America‘s position. WE are not without faults, but before the finger pointing starts look in the mirror, you and your governments deserve the same if not more. Wake up and stop blaming the US for your governments shortcomings. If Europe were more powerful America would not have to fill that vacuum. To the Americans that hate this country: it is far easier to complain than to actually do something about the situation. Be bold, stop typing, organize, run for office, volunteer and make a difference. Those who say you can’t make a difference are defeatist at best and cowards at worse. This site is a true window into the feelings of many individuals--most of which are negative--and this preconceived dribble does absolutely nothing towards bridging understanding. We could have a list with 100 complaints, address 99 of them with facts and it would make no difference to the elitist. You are sick, psychologically, when fact and myth are considered the same. People will always hate us, a double standard will always be applied, fault will always be found, and we will always be accused of acting in our own self interest. This may not be the intent, but this site seems to do more to fan the flames of hate than it does for understanding.
