I hadn't realized you weren't American. The thought oddly hadn't occured to me, although I suppose it should have given the sentiments expressed towards Americans by other non-citizens on this board.
I'm glad you consider us friends, but I'm sorry you think so poorly of us.
Oddly, whatever negatives I might think about the democratically elected (Saddam was not elected democratically) leadership of another country, I would never dream of commenting on them on an internet bulletin board. I might just possibly comment on my own leaders (but probably wouldn't in deference to those who elected them) but never those of another country. But that's just me. Apparently it's a well accepted practice among others.
