That may be so... but I caution against condemning the entire country and its citizens for the actions/attitudes of their government. That is closed minded and would be like someone condemning the US (as they do) for the actions of our government...

In my case, more often than not lately, I disagree with the position and actions of our government, yet to apply the logic of that article to me and other democrats, we'd be evil war mongerig focused on the war on terror people too...

Is simplified view, but true nonetheless. I've been to France recently, not all their citizens agree with the Gaullist approach.
