officernarc	Date: June 2, 2007 @ 3:44 PM well, the real answer to that question is because it's an easy target.
evansorchid	Date: June 2, 2007 @ 8:45 PM That sounds just about right.

hate9wicket	Date: June 3, 2007 @ 12:36 PM I'd like somebody take a world map into Afghanistan, do the same fricking thing, and see how many people could find um, I dunno, Chile or Bolivia. my

GTOriginal	Date: June 4, 2007 @ 9:14 AM If by "laugh" you really mean cry and mourn the tens of tousands of unneccesary dead, then yeah I'm laughing my ass off. Now I gotta lean on a post because chairs don't work anymore.
ShadowMom	Date: June 4, 2007 @ 12:02 PM He's laughing at our ignorance-- but it's not just the US. And it's meant to be funny. I, too, find it sad. MY vote goes for Washington, DC-- let's invade and take it back.
moam	Date: June 4, 2007 @ 12:34 PM I think Mr. Bush is angry that we're talking down on him
GWBush	Date: June 4, 2007 @ 2:50 PM Naaaah it's all groovy baby.

There would be an excuse for Afghans, since they have no troops in Chile.
hate9wicket	Date: June 4, 2007 @ 8:47 PM No, I'm saying watching this makes me sad for :USA: in general...makes me think of those upsidedown maps you can get to change your perspective of the world, cuz if you look at a standard North = up South = down map, North America just leaps out at you and appears huge, you turn it around and you realize, OMG, the United States looks about the size of all of Europe....but Russia looks enormous. My point w/ my previous post was of course, there is ample excuse for the Afghans, who for some, have never seen a map, let alone heard of Chile.....the Americans???? most of whom I would assume spent 13 years of their lives where a map would be easily viewed, and perhaps looked at from time to time, No excuse at all.
celtaidd	Date: June 4, 2007 @ 9:11 PM I suppose we laugh at the U.S. cos we can( and the U.K. for that matter) Unless you tell me I can't, then I'll laugh at the U.S. just to piss you off
8111	Date: June 5, 2007 @ 1:35 PM America is in no way short of ignorant, over-fed, SUV driving idiots, but it's funny how every body and his uncle wants a fuckin' piece of it.
Alwex	Date: June 6, 2007 @ 6:20 AM Let me guess, american geoghraphy books only contain america....doesnt it? It sure made me laugh at the US and the fact that it seems so obvious that the US Should bomb another country scares me the most, put those mother fuckers on the front. Can tell you those folks sure wouldnt be popular around here.
8111	Date: June 6, 2007 @ 7:25 AM I, and many, many other Americans are nothing less than ashamed at the actions of our government. We want our troops to get the hell out of where they are and come home. It's a big, big controlling money machine that the common person is all but powerless against. We in the states have been intentionally divided and rendered virtually powerless to do anything but watch in horror ourselves. Before others point fingers at the people of th U.S. maybe they should ask themselves what they doing about their OWN crooked government? EVERYBODY has one.
