There's three things I want to react on after this post :

1) Switzerland has to date the most complete and tought anti-laundering laws in the world. True, lots of business has been made with blood-stained money, doesn't mean it continues to happen today. I happen to work in a bank. Every other day I receive a list of terrorist groups and organisations and I have to check in the archives to see wheter my bank has had some sort of business with them. To date there's about 5000 of us throughout the country carrying out similar tasks, while the ENTIRE US governement service whose job it is to track down and block terrorist funds has got like 22 people in it. The day you come down here, work in a bank for a couple of years, understand banking secrecy laws, know-your-customer rules, then you can talk about what banks have supposedly done. I can open an account over the internet in a couple of large American banks and deposit 500'000 $ on it without ever seeing anyone asking where the money's from.

2) How am I being ungrateful? I don't owe you ANYTHING. Were you in Normandy in '44? No... Thank you and goodbye.. WWII was 50 years ago, time to move on...If the French used the same sort of thinking they could call the US ungrateful because they helped them kick out the Brits during the independence war. Hell we could take this as far back as Christopher Columbus. Irrelevant and non-constructive thinking at its best. If the US liberated Europe in World War II, then it sure should mean that we have the right to have an opinion, be it a different one than the US's, otherwise it wouldn't have been a liberation, right?


3) I don't see a simple valid point or argument relevant to the situation of today in your post. All you do is flame me because my opinion is different then yours. Your idea of banning your fellow countrymates who dare disagree with you and the gratuitous, stereotypical and uneducated attacks against my country show how much commitment you have with what you call "Freedom of speech".
At least over here people have the right to agree or disagree without being aggressed.

4) I still want to thank you for your post though, cause all the stereotypes, hate and whining you do only comfort me in my opinion. I definitely do NOT want to agree with someone who thinks like you. There's more to life than Fox News...
But hey rejoice! The war is gonna happen no matter what, that should make you a happy camper. Just don't whine when payback comes within the next 5 years. A lot of dangerous people are going to be pissed against the US in the near future, that's guaranteed. They'll want revenge, that's guaranteed as well...
