all i mean is i have nothing against the regimes in uruguay or bolivia so saying i am anti-american is incorrect
and all the canadians i have ever met always say that they are canadian, i've even seen some of them get upset when they're called american [which as you point out they are] same for my friends from chile, brazil, and argentina [respectively chilean, brazilian and argentinian pedantic as this might be]
i do note many myriad differences between the USA and Iraq
but laws are effected by the people living under them
and as such they are diffinitively different from on state to another
i mean if you're going to throw stones at someone you should at least attempt to try on their shoes and look at the world from their perspective - this is usually very difficult with someone you're aiming a stone at because it necesitates finding fault in yourself
in the case of the USA i think it is far more important for you to try to understand the perspective of the other because your throwing a lot more than stones these days daddio
(if we're doing the hokey-pokey aren't we meant to put hands, feet etc. in and out and then turn around and shake about, so it might just be inappropriate to sway me during this dance, maybe you can sway me during a slow waltz later on)
PS i'm feeling a bit jealous of your desk my map's all the way over there on the wall
I'm well aware of the faults you mention; that doesn't change anything.
Wanna try my shoes on? They're made in the USA.
I used to dance ALOT.
I only sway occasionally these days, and often need help when I do.
Are you gonna give up your locale or not? I swear, I'll leave my targeting software disabled.
Trust me.

Some of the more militant vegetarians like to dredge that one up and apply it to animals, when it says nothing about killing, but the murder of another human being.
