When Europeans or other nationalities critize the US and say "We hate Americans 'Because' or there stupid" is just plain IGNORANCE!
Beckham,
It seems like your Spanish and Irish friends are not too smart, they should take a few history classes and see how the US has helped so many countries around the world.
It was nice of you not to have laughed when the other fools did.

People:
The attacks on 9-11 at the WTC were acts done by Cowards! Bin Laden, the Taliban, AL Queda and these other terrorists organizations are a bunch of dangerous fools.
Usually these organizations are managed by 2 or 3 key people who carismatic, rich or have lots of influence. They in turn brain-wash thousands of poor, un-educated, kids and peasants to follow their cause.
They are a very horrible type of cancer that rapidly spreads all over the world.

People here in the US are a bit alarm about the Antrax cases being found. Like anything, there are people who can care less, others a little and a few are just paranoid about almost anything.

Later..
Peace in the Middle East.
