Stars and stripes of hatred?

by Paul 20. April 2009 07:53

I frequently get emails reporting, often erroneously and always
histrionically, about all the evils of the French and British and
essentially demonizing everyone who isn't wrapped in an American flag.

In this news report, the anti-Israeli fulminations of the Iranian
president were met by a walkout of western diplomats, most notably
British and French.

So far I haven't received any commentary about this from that other 
group, who are, I believe, basically good people, even if they don't 
know the difference between belligerence and patriotism. I've never 
thought that their messages said very much about the British or French 
or Germans or whomever they were hating at any particular moment. But 
I've often thought they said a lot about why so many people,  even 
among our allies, detest Americans.
