Hi Mark.
I am not American.
I don't like American values and there is very little culture in it.
America has just about had it as a cultural entity; the last great cultural
phenomenon was modern jazz, and that is rooted in European and African
traditions.
To state that America is the greatest nation on Earth shows an ignorance of
history, culture, and values of an astonishingly arrogant nature; a nature
which has helped lead us to where we are today.
I talked of the tragic character in an earlier posting; now the tragic
character of the American holds the safety of the world in it's hands.
That is a most depressing thought.
Squonk.

speak and think American. Thanks to a lifetime of American movies, books and
television many of the 'surface' values of the United States are also my
own.
I sincerely believe that the United States is the greatest nation on earth.
I do not think it is perfect. When I saw the recent poll results that said
that 96% of American's would be willing to enter a War to take revenge for
Tuesdays massacre I could only think of the lesson the Israelis are teaching
us on a daily basis. They recipricate every evil perpetrated against them.
The revenge killings keep the fires of terror fuelled they have never put
them out.
