Often, a sure way to fill a theater is to lambaste U.S. foreign policy, cultural habits or military activity. One recent comedy lampooning the United States featured an exploding Statue of Liberty outside the lobby. Another stage production included a randy caricature of an American general and played to packed houses for four months. The sentiment driving such works is widespread across the Arab world, a recent poll showed. Ninety-three percent of people surveyed in Jordan in March had a somewhat or very unfavorable view of the United_States 040820 ... a "point" The invasion of Iraq and U.S. support for Israel in the conflict with the Palestinians are the prime causes of this trend, many political analysts say.

Elmo I believe that the extremists hate America so much for many reasons. You're president is a power hungry, aggressive, oppresive, mental midget. America's foreign policy is appalling. You're country as a whole is really messed up, but the majority of people inside it can't even see the problems. Partly because you're government doesn't want you to, and partly because you don't want to. Whatever anyone says, capitalism has screwed this world up no end, and will continue to until someone stops it. You're entire society is based on lies, mistrust, and murder. I find it hard to imagine how someone can be proud of their country when it's entire basis is that you people went in and commited ethnic cleansing for the land the Natives lived on. Now, a few important points... I am NOT backing up these extremists. I think the things that they have done are disgusting. What i am saying is that America is just as bad. This war is like two spoilt brats squabbling over a toy they both want. I am NOT singling out anyone here, and i'm not saying that anyone here is blind to what's going on in your country, because i don't know you. I have NOTHING against AmeriCANS, but i have everything against AmeriCA, and the things it has done. So, flame away if you like, but i don't care. My point has been made, and this is something i have thought long and hard about. I suggest you do the same if you want to make some kind of reply, because i will rip your argument apart word by word if you don't. I have practice. 040823 ...

DaVis Elmo... you refer to the American president as a " mental midget," but he has opened up his academic record and it shows that his scholastic test scores are better than 9 out of 10 college-bound students in his country. For example, his SAT college extrance exam was taken under the old system of scoring, but if you convert it to the new system, it's about 1300. Did you take this test (probably not, if you're in the UK and write like a 10-year-old)? If so, what did you score? I suspect you wouldn't score nearly so high--since you can't even tell the difference between "your" and "you're" in that same sentence, begging the question as to who is a mental midget--the man in question, or the person who calls him that? Many people who know the American president personally (including opponents) testify that he is not stupid. You're falling victim to believing everything you read. BTW, America is a large and highly varied place, and you should visit it sometime. Perhaps you wouldn't look so ignorant then. Your e-mail addy indicates you're from the UK, but are you English--of Norman descent? Are you proud of what was done to the Anglo-Saxons, or the Welsh, or the Scots, or the Irish? Or are you from one of those countries--along with all their dark marks? What of the UK's black marks in modern times?
