You don't know history plus you can't coun't.

Wrong and wrong.
I remember some proud member of the Us congress posing near the "menu"*

And no French leader ran an election on the "I oppose america and i think Bush is demented".
Except if you are speaking of Le Pen but the election were in 2002 and the war in 2003

Schroder only won because he turned his campaign into Bush bashing festival...

What's really wrong is your refusal to ackgnowge that teh hostility is reciprocal and mutual and not simply borne out of evil amreekan evilness.

"The latest flare-up over history is a result of the Japanese government’s approval of a controversial new textbook for 13 to 15-year-old students. The book refuses to describe Japan’s occupation of Asian countries as an “invasion.”  The book also refers to the wartime Nanjing massacre-which killed more than a quarter million Chinese as merely an “incident,” and describes the disputed Senkaku islands as “sovereign territory.”

Could you imagine if the Germans tried this?

 The truth is though, this isnt that big of a deal. Kids nowdays have the internet. It would be a big deal if this was happening back in the 80s when some of us were in school. But it is not. Kids will find a way to find out the truth though the internet. I also know they get the history channel over there too. So I am sure it will all come out.

As much as I oppose the invasion of Iraq, comparing it to Japanese actions in China is just distasteful and wrong.  

I gotta agree with this. It makes me think people are just too young to fathom what went on in Asia prior to 1944. Attempting to compare it to anything in the last 20 years (with the possible exception of parts of Africa) highlights that skewed perspective.

That of course had nothing to do with Bush's actions, right?

Besides there isn't masses of US haters.
Though.. whatever you like to think in your hate and scare paranoia.
It's a free world, people are entitled to disagree, got a problem with that?
To think about it; maybe the USA isn't that democratic and free after all, when people expects other people to think alike or be the enemy.

I'm sure the millions in western europe rallyiong aginst the us right of self defense and holding up america is the terrorist signs really love the USA.

It's funny I didnt see millions in the USA go protest to think that europe not supporting our point of view on iraq made europens the terrorists or made euro leaders like hitler... but I see plenty of that from you oh so tolerant of other views europeans...

Plus where is this standrad euro outrgae towrds dissent and protests, or does that only come out when the one being protested gainst is a bush basher like the dixie chicks band. Then protest is labeled as supression of free speech by you guys..
