I don't want to start shit in this thread so that's all I'm going to say about that.

Daihashi, out of curiosity, where did you travel to? Everyone I've talked to since '03 that lives in a country outside of the U.S. has condemned Bush & Friends multiple times, some of them being really hateful about it...I think both of us only saw two sides of a single die...I saw a 1, you saw a 6, but neither of us saw the numbers in between.
Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Austria, Spain, and Czech Republic is everywhere I've been since 03.

Talking to people and traveling overseas and talking with random people are two totally different things. You'll find that most people don't think we're as horrible as we think. Bush never came up in conversations. If they don't like our government then they definitely didn't take it out on me; which is why I find it hard to believe that it's just 'suddenly' cool to be an American overseas again.

In my eyes it never seemed to really matter where you're from. If you're a friendly person then people will be friendly back to you.
