I'd be very happy if we bombed Tripoli again...

Okay I live in Canada but was born in Denmark. Anytime you genralize a big word like hate and spread it over everyone it is going to be painful. I think the people are pointing more in the direction of foreign policy are on the right track. The United States Of America is mixed up in so many little tinkering around the world before the events of the 11th made the focus narrow in more. It used to be scary living with the whole balance of poewr notion before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Historically the lack of a balance is always trickier and that is the mess we are in now. The only people who really are going to say I hate this country or that country are not really thinking people. What I find more persasive in Europe is the attitude that the US is a bit rude at times only a lot of the people are too polite to come o0ut and say it. A bit like one of the youngest kids in a sandbox wielding the metal shovel no matter what that kid will grow up to be in the future there is goign to be pain and blood that isn't fair or right or orderly. There is no point in nationalizing this process. Having been educated in Canada I was taught the notion of the Vikings as horrible savages that were not differetiated from any other hoarde. Any major accomplishment just was not mentioned. My father never stepped in to correct the history errors believing assimilation to an important thing. Now I livbe in an age where it is almost impossible to teach the history of Canada because of political issues so I see text books that bascially teach the kids the glory of the Vikings and a lot of stuff about aboriginal people and no history.
If this were all a computer program and not life it would be eaiser. No one would play a scenario with everything so skewed. The workd will either outgrow the tit for tat mode or we are all doomed and it isn't going to matter then which region of the world felt what about whom.
