No, I don't think GA was saying that, he was saying that America is
disproportionately blamed for things while other countries seem to get off
light or are somehow perceived as more justified (or less unjustified in
their actions).  At least that's my take and I think he even said something
to that effect in another message.

Why aren't you addressing the same message to Hendrik or others equally
vehement or emotional?  First, I don't think that either GA or Hendrik need
that, though they both get pretty hyped up, and second, there are others way
further off the edge who should get that advice.  Anyway, as blunt and
sometimes emotional as GA may get, I don't think he should be singled out
for this sort of analysis - if so, that should probably be done off-list
(though of course I've been guilty of posting a thing here or there that
would be better served off-list, so please note I'm not saying I'd think to
do so before shooting my mouth off, either).
