Pants, your problem is that your mind is a one-way street.

There is an international sentiment of Anti-Americanism, that quite frankly, I think dwarfs the VERY recent Anti-French sentiment in the United States.
I think the majority of Americans GROSSLY oversize the anti-Americanism in Europe. There are massive anti-war protests, but they are aimed towards the American government. The narrow-minded "all Americans are devils" attitude lies in the Middle East. We're not yet that far. Don't act like you know what's going through the heads of people overseas.

Our Anti-French feelings are regarding France's recent actions, not their right to voice their opinion
Like I said. People aren't protesting the American way of life, they're protesting the outright defiance of the American government for international opinion.

While this is going on daily, the United kingdom is continually refusing to join the Euro. Ask yourselves this before jumping to conclusions... can you blame them? How would you feel merging with the Mexican Peso? Or, better yet, the Argentine dollar? They would be out of their minds to join right now.
They've been against this since day one because the UK has a big issue with changing their traditions. Hell, ALL of the EU officially changed the date they go into daylight savings in order to synchronize watches with the UK! The Dutch Guilder was a strong coin and we, too had to watch the Euro plummet in value during the months up until the European coin conversion. It was a sacrifice we made for the greater good of the whole EU. That's what the EU is all about.

The Anti-American sentiment in this effort is nothing but a pathetic attempt to "control" or "harness" America. But, it's not America who is causing this problem. It is the International "community"
A perfect verbal illustration of why debating with you is pointless. You are simply incapable of acknowledging anything negative about your country, your president and your people.

What you see as an attempt at controlling America is actually the international community trying to make America sit amongst them, instead of at the head of the table. That takes sacrifices, it takes the rich getting poorer while the poor get richer. It takes a less self-serving and egotistical direction than the one Bush is steering America into right now.
