I *do* love Americans

we kick ass, while Brits merely, well.... Americans respond to British butt-in-skis who wrote to swing state voters telling them how to vote and why, at the urging of an article in The Guardian:

Consider this: stay out of American electoral politics. Unless you would like a company of U.S. Navy Seals -- Republican to a man -- to descend upon the offices of the Guardian, bag the lot of you, and transport you to Guantanamo Bay, where you can share quarters with some lonely Taliban shepherd boys.

Real Americans aren't interested in your pansy-a--, tea-sipping opinions. If you want to save the world, begin with your own worthless corner of it. Texas, USA

I'm saying this as a Democrat, ...Please, please, be rational, and move slowly away from the self-defeating hubris.

Thank heavens! I was adrift in a sea of confusion and you are my beacon of hope! Feel free to respond to this email with your advice. ... Please remember, too, that I am merely an American. That means I am not very bright. It means I have no culture or sense of history. It also means that I am barely literate, so please don't use big, fancy words. Dayton, Ohio

1. You might find a recent post to my blog of interest, with regards to your post. Look for the entry entitled “The Marketplace Of Ideas - Voting In America”. Thank you for your time and your blog.

2. We’re you’re only friends in the world right now (and then just barely), and you want to talk about sending soldiers into a newspaper and imprison journalist in a military camp? No wonder you have so many people queuing up to be your allies.

   You might like to know that we’ve actually been invited to get involved in US politics. A group from the OSCE (Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe) who usually monitor elections in third world nations and emerging democracies have been invited to monitor this years presidential election.

   Anyway we’re quite happy with our little corner of the world and it seems to be going quite nicely. Or it would if you would stop shooting anything that moved. It would be nice if you would stop bombing civilians in Iraq, stop torturing anyone anywhere, and behave as if you actually believed the things you say you believe in (freedom, justice, equality, innocent until proven guilty etc). In the light of your nations disgusting and evil behaviour in Guantanamo bay and Abu Ghraib, I would certainly think twice before getting involved with your sick nation again. How many more wedding parties are you planning to bomb in Iraq? Perhaps you could learn a thing or two from us about how to do this kind of job. After all, we’ve been doing it for 25 years in Northern Ireland. Oh yeah, thanks for funding the IRA terrorists back then too. You hypocrites!

3. I think Margaret Hassan and CARE should ask themselves what they have done to make the Iraqis hate them so much.
