Reply #30: America [View All]

America is still the best and brightest place on earth to live.

Excuse me, LARED, please don't tke this as a personal comment, but just reading your above mentioned statement:
For foreigners (and here on DU there are many of them and as you can see by reading my humble English) I'm one of them, this remark might appear to be pretty chauvinist and very close to the mission Bush feels to be in charge of: bringing the American Way of Live to all countries (well, without asking their consent obviously). And it's the same believe of superiority that has characterized Englsih and French Colonialism and the German Third Reich and Mussolini's Italy.
(I'm just talking about your remark. Having read it without further explanation and giving you my feeling as a foreigner. As I said, no personal comment, just analysing this phrase).
And to the millions that will come to the US. As far a I can see never are there so few people from Europe coming to the US and Bush is the reason. On the contrary quite a lot of Europeans are coming back.
