I come from a non-traditional American perspective, having grown up in Argentina, Greece, and Spain before coming back to the U.S. for college. That said, I believe there are many true-blooded Americans (my wife, for one) who do share my thoughts on the state of the USA's place in the world. I have always known the U.S. had problems at home (racism, poverty, greed), but knew that we were actively trying to make them better. I also believed that our "interventions" overseas were with the intent to make things better. (I lived in Madrid when that country joined NATO, and the protests were legendary.) But this Administration has taken those principles that served us during most of the last century (honesty, stewarship, courage, honor) and thrown them out. We haven't solved problems around the world in the last six years, we have caused them. The Katrina tragedy is serving notice to the American people that the Bush Administration has been negligent and malicious at home, too. I just hope we/they wake up soon. Hi Giuseppe.
