Hello Zari Namdar,

I enjoyed your reply, and you make very good points. Michael Moore, Sean Penn and the like, if they despise America so much, why don't they leave and habitate the countries which they think are the ideal, and whose leaders they admire?

I'm glad to read a reply from someone who came from a foreign country and obviously appreciates America. So few native-born Americans do. The "Hollywood" anti-Americanism crowd of course is the most vocal, but a good majority of Americans are at best apathetic towards their homeland, and take the freedoms they enjoy for granted.

While reading Daniel Pipes' above article, I was wondering how ridiculous American Liberals look from a foreigner's viewpoint.

You gave me an answer. Thank you for your perspective!

- Jennifer Solis
