I too am often amazed at the ignorance of many Americans. However, they are generally good people. My missus is American and her family is lovely. I have been to the US several times and met many dumb people and many bright people. Many pro war, pro fuel, pro pollution and many not. I also meet a lot of undesirables here in Australia, in Europe. I guess its anywhere.
They are a big country and often do not have adequate world representation on their nightly news, not to mention the media is often controlled by powerful factions. Sounds a bit like Channel nine doesnt it?
Lets not pick on the yanks. In general they are a good country with fair values. Sometimes they have warped foreign policy, but so do many other countries. Just ask a West Papuan.
At least in Australia and the USA you can speak up, criticise your Government, even stand for election if you want, and by right as a free person you are free to do all of these things.
I think we need to understand that all Governments manipulate people. This includes the Hezbollah, the Likud Party, the Iranian leader's party, the Republican party, Berlusconi's Party, Indonesia's Govt, and my favourtie manipulator the Liberal Party. Even worse, some countries there is not even a choice...

THE AGE said:Blair warns Iran over captured Brits

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has warned Iran the fate of 15 British sailors and marines seized off the Iraqi coast is a "fundamental" issue for his government, as Iran suggested the group may be put on trial for violating its waters.
This will probably end harmlessly, but wars have started on less.
What would the western world think if they held them two years or so without a trial?
Not much we can say now is there?
Cheers,
