No, I am not anti-american, but giving some feedback why many europeans critisize americans. Every nation has its downsides. So does the US. There is no need for any american to think that there are no nations on earth that do think differently and still are great nations to live in.

There are certainly things I think we have arranged better than in the US. OTOH, I think the US is the country of opportunities and has to power to make the difference in this world.

Walter,
