DA ; Simply Vicky: Don't get pithy with me!

They do? That explains a lot! (Re the actions of the USA, and some individual Americans.)

It makes sense, actually - if the world 'hates' Americans, they can bond together against us!smiley - peacesign

Bonding together is one reason.

The main reason is that Americans think they are hated because they are Americans. And not because of the things they do. Because no one will hate them for the things they do, right?

Slight non-sequitur: I have a sales rep who gives me proof corrections with the word 'yellow' consistently spelled 'yeller.' As in Old Yeller. I don't think he's doing it to be funny. I get a giggle out of it every time I see it - but there's no misunderstanding what he means.

I understand apparition looking in the mirror is one of the hardest things a person must do. Even more when we do not like what is staring back.
