Why haven't they come over over to your country hunting for 'WMDs' or 'terrorists' yet?
In India we had lovely local cusine served in shacks then this lousy Mc Donald came along and with heavy advertising got popular for a while and a lot of small shacks closed down. Now enough people have tried it out and find it rubbish! Small shacks are making a comeback!

Thank who, what? The USA, I guess. OK, you are welcome. Too bad the French government blew off Peace and Democracy, for multiculturalism and socialism. But why would you thank someone for Mc Donald's, that stuff is nasty. Now Taco Bell, there's some late night munchies. HAHA

Well, I hope you are smart enough not to ever eat there!
As for Peace and Democracy, it seems the Bush administration has decided those are over-rated.
Please be patient, some of us would like to fix that quite soon.

And don't forget Normandy! If it weren't for the Americans you'd be speaking German thanks to Petain. So yes you can thank the American fo your democracy and your freedom, so can I. I was born and raised in Europe, been to France many times. Their food is very good but not quite as good as a Big Mac.

“God is not on the side of any nation, yet we know he is on the side of justice. Our finest moments have come when we have faithfully served the cause of justice for our own citizen, and for the people of other land”. George W. Bush.
It is easy to read words without knowing how corrupt language can be. Most people “know” that God is on the side of justice. However, in America “justice” is defined according to American standard. The media act as a megaphone for those in power to propagate America’s “justice” and America’s “divine mission” or the “messianic mission”, as it is called in mainstream media, to bring “democracy” to the Middle East and the world.
The American war on Vietnam that killed more than 3 million Vietnamese people was portrayed in America as a “just war” to “defend” the world from the threat of communism. The opposite was true. Many years later America’s elites acknowledged that the war on Vietnam “was a mistake”. It was one big atrocity. The U.S. army was forced to leave Vietnam. America’s imperialism in Vietnam has suffered a stunning defeat at the hand of peasant and defenceless people. The result of the war was: Vietnam is a country left shattered and its people suffering from America’s immoral war.
For more than a decade the U.S. is engaged in an illegal war against Iraq. In 1991, the U.S. orchestrated the first U.S. war on Iraq, followed by more than twelve years of genocidal sanctions and bombing, which decimated the Iraqi society, and took the lives of more than two million Iraqis.
According to UNICEF, the sanctions against Iraq resulted in the death of 500,000 Iraqi children under the age of 5 years old. In May 1996, “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl asked Madeline Albright, US Ambassador to the UN: “We have heard that half a million children have died [as a result of sanctions]. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it”? Albright responded: “I think that is a very hard choice, but the price, we think, the price is worth it”. UNICEF estimated that the under-5 infant mortality in Iraq in 2001 was 109,000, which has a population of 24 million, compared with about 1000 in Australia, which has a population of 20 million. Iraqi death toll is not being reported and publicly discussed, fearing it will amount to genocidal war crimes against those responsible for the wars.
To increase the destruction and atrocities wrought by the sanctions, the U.S. and Britain continued to bomb Iraqi infrastructure for thirteen years. Professor Joy Gordon quotes a Pentagon official: “What we were doing with the attacks on infrastructure was to accelerate the effect of the sanctions” . Many thousands of children died as a result of contaminated water and the inability of hospitals to function without electricity and running water. What right does America has to destroy nations and killed so many innocent human beings?
My advice to Americans is to take a hard look in the mirror, and ask yourselves why your country is committing horrendous terrorist acts on the soils of other countries. The destruction of Iraq and the horror brought forth by American war on the Iraqi people, and America’s other countless atrocities rob America of all moral authority and idealism.

Don't strap dynamite on and blow yourself up on one of our buses? That's a nice start.
