Len, I do not think that a lot of the Americans on this newsgroup can
comprehend what an "Ugly American" really is. They look into the
mirror
and
only see a reflection of what they want to see.

Why don't you paint a picture for us of an "Ugly American."

We, "Ugly Americans", will then respond with a poratriat of an Ugly
Canadian and an Ugly European.

You are a stupid little man.

Ugly American: Phillippines, Vietnam, Iraq. All the same.

Not to mention Ugly Muslims.

OK. But, it has nothing to do with the three debacles I pointed out to the
child.

True, but let's not limit the term Ugly. I mean, what about Algeria
in the late '50s? Ugly French. The Greenpeace "Rainbow Warrior"
murder committed by the Ugly French Government.

In fact, if you really want to use the term ugly, about all 140
governments in the world can be termed "ugly" in one sense or another
with one or two exceptions - Canada being one.

Ya know, you're OK. :-)

Back to binis, aka "business": The existence of one sin doesn't make another
sin acceptable. Or, as mothers used to say, "Just because all your friends
are jumping off a bridge doesn't mean you have to, also". This country's
mission is to set an example for perfection, even though that's elusive.
