While I believe that terrorism is a real threat to the world, not just the U.S., the view that groups the average citizen into one huge terrorist nation is similar to those idiots overseas who watch Jerry Springer and think that is an accurate view of American life :o) I am absolutely amazed when I hear Brits (the group I most commonly hear say it although the French come in 2nd) make that statement.

>What you fail to understand, Kevin, is that the Iraqis, Iranians and Afghans are NOT responsible for the actions of their mullahs and dictators, ie of the few. There have been plenty of examples in the news of their people who have suffered terribly under these evil regimes. And you one stock anawer is to turn these places to glass. You're like a freakin' Dalek: "EXTERMINATE!". So every country that displeases the mighty US gets a bomb dropped on it? Soon there'll be no countries left.
