The American constitution is indeed a fine piece of work but the reality of how America behaves is that it is a bully, imposing its view of the world wherever it sees fit to protect mostly imagined threats to the "American way of life". This might be news to you but, in most of the world, Bush's America is not seen as the "hope of the world" instead it is actually seen as probably the biggest threat to world stability for a long time.   Nick Palmer   Brit, European, Citizen of the World.
