How can be pepole so ignorant, I'm italian and well know in Europe there are more than 1 milion of Us military graves, without them we now will be under a nazifascit regime. Urss comunists fight against nazifascist too, but not for democracy, but only to replace nazifascit with comunist regime: a tirrany with another tirrany. Freedom and democracy is a little differnt. God bless America War cementery in Italy

msfe al-tikriti: I've noticed that you're "forgetting" to include links to the articles you post.The one above is from: http://politics.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,9115,942390,00.html Don't tell me you're embarrassed to quote the Guardian!
Thank you enrick! Okay, so enrick's numbers are off, msfe. Big deal, I hope you're proud. The fact remains that thousands of Americans gave their lives in Italy, and enrick and Italians in general appreciate that sacrifice whether or not they backed the US in the war w/Iraq. Take your corrections and choke on 'em, ya ninny.
Well, I could cut and paste like crazy like you in order to try and get my point across, but what good would it do? It really bothers you, doesn't it, to know that (GASP!) there are Europeans who are actually grateful for the US liberating them?!? Whassa matter, msfe, not getting enough love for sittin' on your ass in Switzerland counting the dinero from all sides of the political and moral spectrum? L-O-S-E-R
Belive me, in Italy and in Europe the majority well know that:without Usa the whole world now would be a bloody tyranny, nazist or communist, but tyranny. P.s Where were "pacifists" when saddam killed thousands of civilians, Taleban wars in Afghanistan, Milosevic's troups bloodbath in Bosnia, Croazia, Kosovo and the others 100 wars in the world ? Are they "pacifist" only to go against Usa?!
MSFE, It must be real convenient to sit in your chair and spout off anti-US rhetoric. No country on this Earth is without problems, but the posts you make on ET concerning the United States are downright ignorant. Why don't you just come out and tell us all that you really hate the United States. Then just go one step further (which wouldn't be a far leap for you) and stereotype all Americans and proclaim you hate them as well.
