Most Anti-Americanism is basic scapegoating, a way to claim intellectual and moral superiority over the lone superpower, to identify yourself as part of a resistance and provide some psychological linkage to the glory days of the old European empires. It's the rhetorical equivalent of asserting your masculinity. Anti-Americanism is how France, which has the GNP of Georgia, is able to still occupy a place on the world stage.
If Terrorists want sympathy, they'll find it between Sh** and Syphillus in the dictionary
Except for Gaining Independance, Ending Slavery, Defeating the Nazis and Liberating the Iraqis.... war has never solved anything.

Unfortunately the last part of the signature, a little picture entitled Bush 04, didn't copy across. This taken from a poster on the official Planetside forum.
Thoughts or comments on this? Personally I found it offensive, but the Planetside moderators had mo problem with it... And no, I'm not French, I'm Georgian
