    Perhaps you are not getting what I am saying. 71% of Americans, as of
    three days ago, agree with current US policy and actions on and in
    Iraq. Which, exactly, Americans do europeans claim to love so much? Us
    all, or just the 31% without the scrotal fortitude to do what is right?

    Do you love me but hate the policies I support? Odd, this is the same
    sort of 'hate the sin but love the sinner' attitude that so many
    liberals and europeans deplore when expressed by christian
    fundamentalists. Has europe suddenly gone fundamentalist while I wasn't looking?
