In lugnet.off-topic.debate, Scott Arthur writes:

Why does anyone ever apologize for anything?

Why should US citizens apologize to anyone because our world view happens to
differ from other countries'?  If I hear of one more Hollywood star say in a
press conference in Europe that they hate America, I'm think I'm going to puke!
I don't deny their right to say it, I just question their motivation,
intelligence, and lack of character for saying it.

Who went and made Europe our
political and moral judge?

Is it the judgment you don't like, or the fact that the USA is being judged?

It is the fact that they have no moral right to do so, and that they are
hypocrites besides (because God forbid that the conseratives should take a
moral stand-- *that's* being "judgmental")

Perhaps the French should be denied the right to free speech?

They can blather all they want.  I'm just tired of it.

Perhaps Bush should jail anyone who speaks against him/the USA? Do you think
that would solve the problem?

That may be how you do it where you're from; not where I'm from.
