Because they aren't full of evangelical Christians, who are just as dangerous as the Islaamic people they oppose.

That's more than a little bit true, cyclo. The evangelicals of all faiths make me uneasy.

Maybe Kerry should run for President of the world?

Close. It'll be Clinton.

Because Americans are somewhat isolated from the rest of the world. We are also pretty independent. Then there's the factor of defending the moron because he's our moron.

Personally, I think that the rest of the World made a huge mistake in bellyaching that they wanted Kerry over Bush this election.

Americans are the most obnoxious, bull-headed and obstinate people on Earth and HATE being told what to do.

I would guess that at least a small percentage of voters, voted for G.W. Bush merely BECAUSE so much of the World was urging them not to vote for him.

If they truly understood us, they should have urged us to vote for Bush and perhaps the vote would have gone the other way.

Just my 2 cents... pre tax.

I've been reading some folks on another forum who are from Europe who are thrilled that Bush got in. Why? because then there's no expectation for them to get involved in the Middle Eastern mess. They figured that if Kerry got in, they'd have to get involved with his 'more reasonable approach' (their thinking, not mine).

I thought that was an interesting angle.

That is interesting. Nice and definable. "We don't like Bush and we'll have nothing to do with him and his messes."

Wish I had that option...

It's close, but I say the scale still remains tipped towards France in that regard. :wink:

I notice that conservatives enjoy telling us non-Repubs that we are out of touch with the majority of Americans. Something about the one guy being out of step and complaining about all the others not stepping his way? I wonder if that same argument can go global...

This election was about the US electing a President we felt was the best choice to lead our country. It was not about about electing a President Europe or the ME liked the best. What is good for Europe may not be good for the US.

So, while some might consider our choice of electing Bush as "out of touch" with Europe, there are many of us who feel that isn't such a bad thing.

Equally, some might consider those of us in the blue states to be out of touch with the 'heartland' when what is good for them may not be what is good for us.

Actually the french cant even compete. The caricature of the french, as portrayed in american right wing media can off course, but that is besides the issue.

I've been to Paris, and if the French I met there are any indication of the remainder of that country, that "caricature" is dead on.

There are great variations within any country. For instance, I hate the British. But really, I only don't like the Londoners. The people from the country are quite nice. The French may be the same way.

I really like the Italians.

Yes, I'm sure our country is viewed much the same way by people coming here. (I've heard some New Yorkers can be rude. :wink: )

I love the British, and I've interacted with Londoners and other city-dwellers up to the north (Leeds, Manchester, etc.). I found them all to be friendly people.

I even like McTag.
