>>And Holland should tend to Holland's business and leave the politics of the US to US citizens. You don't see many Americans telling you how things "should be" in Holland, do you?

>To be fair John, when I was in Holland it was absolutely beautiful. The people were warm and friendly. They all knew I was an American and they greeted me with open arms. This was in the early 80s. Of course I looked Norwegian, am of Norwegian decent, and my last name was Skogen then. :o) They did not treat the German tourists so well though I might add. I guess I should ask Walter if Americans visiting Holland would be treated differently today in light of the war in Iraq?

I'm sure most people (regular folk like us) would be cordial no matter what. I encounter people from all over the world here in Memphis and they are always impressed with how friendly people are here.
