Subject: RE: BS: Why are we generalising about Americans?
"Bush is America" - now that really is a nasty thing to say. It's just a way of stirring up hatred against The States. If peopoe around the world ever started to believe that was true it would be a sad day.

"L'etat c'est moi" that was Louis XIV.

"Apres moi, le deluge" le deluge" - that was Louis XIV.

And Louis XVI? They chopped his head off. These things take time, but in time they happen.

(Actually Lous XVI's last words on the scaffold were pretty fine: "I die innocent of all the crimes laid to my charge; I Pardon those who have occasioned my death; and I pray to God that the blood you are going to shed may never be visited on France.")
