Sorry.
While the Bush administration continues to alienate, frustrate and mock the rest of the world. MANY Americans are reaching out (check out the gallery for thousands of pictures from across the nation, and even some responses from other countries).
Perhaps the answer is solidarity across borders against those who lord over all of us. Hey, didn't someone else already think of that?
UPDATE: While doing some studying today, I've been casually browsing the Sorry Everybody website - it would take hours to view all the thousands of pictures. But I feel really great right now. I think it is an incredible demonstration of humanity joining together, finding their commonality across borders and acknowledging love and respect for each other. The photos of people from other countries responding just makes me feel better. This is ultimately the very best thing the Internet can offer the world - connections and communication like this between human beings. It’s reassuring, to say the least.
