Ok i get the message.. most of you hate americans..does that automaticly make you a better person? NO . Just because you dont like one or maybe two americans dosnt justify the entire country.There are more ppl in America who are against war than there are ppl living in your countries.There is no need for being openly hateful for any reason.

[adycousins]

No. most of us hate your government. Some people think that means we hate all americans, but that's because they think anybody that opposes the war hates americans. The majority of americans OPPOSE the war, it would be foolish and unfair to dismiss americans because of the actions of their lying, warmongering leaders.

To all who feel sorry for me and think I am rude and "americanish": I happen to have been born in Scotland, raised London for 30 years before coming to the US. I have been here for 20 years now and I have never heard so much clap trap in my life as the misinformation the BBC and the liberal UK media puts out about the US. It's no wonder people in the UK hate Americans. Don't believe everything you read.

[adycousins]

I don't feel sorry for you. People hate America because their government drops high explosives on civilians or pays proxies to do it for them. I don't believe everything I read - particularly things written by you. Please stop posting your drivel on my videos and get back to watching Fox.

Yes, the Bush admin lied about the war, and now we have added more gasoline to the fires of Jihad. The world is a more dangerous place than ever, but the pretexts of our wars are merely justifications for invasions for corporate profit. This, too has backfired. Where is the $20 barrel of oil Rupert Murdoch promised after endorsing the war? Not only are our leaders corrupt, they're also incompetent.

I love listening to this man speak.

I liked all the Americans that I have met in my life, Please if you are American try not to take offense at what the sane people living in "Little America" (Formerly the free country called Great Britain) are saying about your government. Successive administrations in America and here have been and are being controlled by the makers and dealers in arms. It is THEM we must become free from, Look up what Eisenhower said about war, and arms, and poverty in the world.....

Unfortunately, there is a massive hatred of americans in europe. I am european, but have lived in the US for some time, and have an american accent. As soon as I open my mouth while in europe, I got treated differently: with contempt and an attitude. Shame... because there are millions of americans who hate war and the politicians who endorse it. the american people in general is very generous and willing to help others in need. they are optimistic and kind.

I dislike political bullshit from anyone on any issue, but in particular entertainers, and preachers.

[smackyjack]

I hate political entertainers. I don't give a shit what you think.

[maelstone]

who controls the US ?...In my opinion the city of London co-operates with washington over the heads of both brits and americans - and i think that the hatred towards "america" (both south and north?) is an intended strategy from the people in europe who wants to regain their old colonies...

"How can such a smart man be merely

a musician and performer?"

What are you saying?

[revtkatt]

Eno was god, is god, and will be god. How can such a smart man be merely a musician and performer? I expected another dry video on music theory, which is fine, albeit his music is infinately better. Instead, I find he is speaking geopolitical truth. Stuff hard to say here in the States. Granted, very UK oriented and eventually dry, but he has a clue and is willing to tie his public persona to it. Mr. Eno continues to impress. DH, Irvine, CA, USA (forgive me)
