A telling sign of the sad state of America’s reputation and profile in the world today.

“For security reasons, the US team bus was the only one of 32 team buses at the World Cup that was not adorned with its country’s flag.”

Hmm, wonder why? People in the States seem to want to plaster it on just about anything and everything. Guess they figured those socialist Europeans must just hate freedom. And if ‘they’ hate us ‘because of our freedoms’, then that might explain why the Bush administration is making such efforts to eliminate those very same American freedoms we too often take for granted. That way, if we don’t have those freedoms of ours any longer, then ‘they’ won’t hate us anymore and won’t attack us.
