Not only that, but he's not an American. Americans don't use the word "nutter."

Well spotted I am English. I think life is so easy when you are criticising from the background. All you energy is criticising Bush, but what if you had the responsibility what would you do, do you think you have it all worked out and that you could do such a better job?

I know what you are saying but everyone has been staggered by the bloodthirsty nature of it. The driving of truck bombs into crowed markets, the bombings of religios festivals.
Al qaieda was operating before the war The American embasey in Nigeria and 9/11 which was before the war.

Geez, we could have saved so much time if you'd just come out and said you were a troll! Can't even get decent trolls these days. I'm blame it on rampant industrialism.

That's just bollocks, though, isn't it?phildwyer said:

Not at all. On E.100th St you will find the poorest people in the Western world. Life expectancy and infant mortality rates are similar to those in sub-Saharan Africa. The people are black and Latino, and the neighborhood has a very distinctive and unique culture. A culture which is dramatically different from that on E.90th St, where you will find the richest people in the Western world, with their own unique culture, who are almost all white. Ten blocks is half a mile. But culturally, economically, and even linguistically, the difference between these two blocks is indeed greater than that between Britain and Bulgaria. *Much* greater.

No, it is just bollocks. There is no possible way that you can compare the difference between two streets with the difference between two countries. It simply does not make sense; streets are not countries, and yes, I'm well aware of the surprising differences that can exist between adjoining areas in some US cities, but there is always some level that is not shared between London and Bulgaria, where there are centuries of divergent development, no shared language, barely any contact whatsoever that is not based on media that are shared much more closely between streets in one city, and so on. And a few hundred people are not equivalent to sixty million.phildwyer said:
You need to work on that metaphor. Overstating the case is just going to make people laugh.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. In every respect, the difference between E.100th St and E.90th St is *far* greater than that between Britain and Bulgaria. More Brits will go to Bulgaria than residents of E.90th St will go to E.100th St. *Many* more. Moreover, the people on E. 100th St are poorer than the people of Bulgaria, while the people on E.90th St are richer than the people of Britain. Furthermore, the people on E.90th are white, while the people of E.100th are black. As for culture, E.100th St or its environs were home to Grandmaster Flash and Tito Puente, while E.90th St or its environs are home to Woody Allen and Donald Trump. As for language, the people of E.100th St speak either Spanish or a dialect of English that is quite incomprehensible to those on E.90th St. Are you sure you wish to continue this argument?

revol68 said:to be honest i thinkm I know what you mean by it but I myself don't think there is such a culture that isn't industrialised, the phrase you use would imply that some forms of culture are purer than others, a very outdated outlook.
And my criticisms of the book weren't that it slagged off the american people, my criticisms of it are that it's a just a fucking shopping list of things that the US has done. Groundbreaking facts like the US record of militarist intervention and how's it multi national companies are homogenising the world, the usual old wiberal claptrap.
Since your so upset by my Burchill analogy lets try another one, it's as if Carrie Bradshaw (the one from Sex and the City with the shite column) was subbing for Robert Fisk (hows that for bathing in postmodern references)
I am not implying that there is such a thing as "pure culture", all I am saying is that cultural products (like it or not they are products), like those produced by Hollywood are not produced in some sort of ideological vacuum as you appear to suggest. I'm sorry if you don't like that but tough shit.
Your ignorance of culture is astounding. Your last paragraph only makes you look like a fool. Why should I be upset with your crass analogies? You're just another right wing shit who thinks that anyone who is critical of the US is either "anti-American" or a "wiberal". I'm only surprised you haven' resorted to calling me "anti-American".
Weak, foolish and pathetic.

what, fucking what?

really, im glad i've got you to reiterat the obvious. For your information im not a right winger at all, rather im a libertarian communist, who take issue with crass anti americanism because it revolves around smug liberalism rather than any sort of serious materialist analysis.
your barking up the wrong tree and more to the point i think you've bitten off more than you can chew.
