It’s so easy to see when it’s happening to us and so hard when we’re doing it to somebody else.
When Hugo Chavez calls George Bush the devil or tells us what to do, Americans are offended and tell Hugo where to go. (That rhymes nicely.) The same goes for the Chinese, Iranians or whatever other bunch of gangsters knows better than we how to run our affairs.
But we’re oh so hurt when Iraqis, Saudis, Palestinians, Israelis, Koreans, Frenchmen, or Germans tell us we shouldn’t be telling them what to do or how to do it.
Why is it so clear one way and not the other?

I can personally attest to the fact that unlike the USA, my Dad (Wild Bill himself) rarely gives a second thought to what others think of his actions. Over the years this fact has resulted in tremendous family pride, overwhelming embarrassment, and virtually endless funny stories about the old man.
What would life for the Brennan's be like if Dad were more sensitive to the opinions of the French?
