Hi there Yelof! Nice to make your acquaintance

I had much the same thought about the differences between American views and European views....I found however that even on the topics that you mention, thats not really how things break down here.
On the subject of Palestine for instance there are Americans posting in a very pro Zionist fashion ( such as RADAR) but there are many whose posts have surprised me and made me reassess my own views of American culture and political landscape.

That sounds terribly patronising of me, I dont mean it to *smiles* Its really just a comment on how narrow a band of American culture is shown to us in Europe. It has come as something of a revelation to me to find that there are people who share a similar way of thinking to mine on subjects I had previously believed to break down along national lines.
