@Paul, regarding the F1 race at Indy, it seems that less than 40% in attendance were American and the most disgruntled and violent were the fans that paid hefty sums to fly into America for the race. Are you certain that Americans and only Americans were throwing debris on the track?
@Europeans, you do realize that millions of Americans are fighting the Bush government every day, don't you. Roughly half of our population is against the war in Iraq, against the treatment of prisoners detained at Guantanamo Bay, against the suspension of our constitutional rights in the name of anti-terrorism, and very much aware of the attrocities this government is committing. So, please stop your bullshit about "you ignorant this" and "you murdering that" because it is not only a gross over-generalization, it is also incorrect. But, if you want to hold 270 Million people responsible for a government elected by about 100 Million then I can't stop you.
