the act remains very good.

Is it my fault the f fell off the screen after I typed it?

It may be a sad fact but where to put blame and more importantly... how to
fix it?

Fix the blame? It's more important that Americans realize what kind of
image they're projecting to the rest of the world and stop asking
stupidly, "Why does everyone hate us?" as if it was some great
mystery. All most non-Americans, particularly in the non--travelling
Third World-- know of America is what they see and hear of its popular
culture. And that's not good, at least not to those who cling to any
sort of standard in their lives.

Are you happy to have Hollywood representing you?

No, Wake up world, movies and entertainment TV aren't real life America.
Oh my god.... the shockwave around the world.

Is this sarcasm? The world won't wake up, and certainly not some young
terrorist in a cave in Afghanistan. It's time for the US to wake up.
