| Open Letter From Am. Students Abroad |
| 2004-07-13 |
| America’s standing at risk! London - More than 200 Americans studying in Britain have signed an open letter accusing President George W Bush of endangering the security of American nationals abroad through his unpopular foreign policies. The letter, released on Monday by the campaign group ’’Win Back Respect’’ is written to the students’ families and communities back home. It must be because I am the mother of bright children -- I commented on the posts of their weblog. Go ahead and amuse yourselves over there, but be gentle: they are young and ignorant and poorly informed, but if we help them, soon they will be as wise in understanding as we are ;-) |

| #12 Dragon Fly, Thanks for telling the kidlings about Revel ... I blanked on the name. It looks like other than you, I am the only one to comment on their whole page -- so our thoughts will be eagerly, if not pleasurably read. Sarge, Two good points! I am living proof that common sense isn't connected to "intelligence". Very cleverly indeed, my keeper married me, and has kept me out of some of the trouble I otherwise would have inadvertently found myself in. |

| #11 So, our European allies think America is the one to have to apologize for friends abandoning friends? Do these numbskulls have any idea how that enrages the people in my neck of the woods? THEY are the ones to apologize, if anyone, for shallow and short-lived compassion for America after 9/11, reckless endangerment of the world by hiding from the real dangers of Islamofascism and subsidizing corrupt psychopaths like Saddam, and insulting our people while digging into our pockets and draining our financial resources for their ill-thought-out world economic plans. |

| #10 TU3031, never mistake intelligence for common sense. Clearly some of these students are very intelligence they just lack common sense. I also remember a group of Oxford students that signed a letter of protest against Englands declaration of war on Germany. They were wrng then and they are wrong now. |

| #5 That's the thing about academic 'intellectuals' - they're easily led. They soak up information very well, but all too few are able to think outside their classroom-shaped box. |
