I know how you feel my country isn't also having the best of times right now, first the misnamed swine flu and now the drug problems sometimes it is a wonder foreigners vist us after all.
And to counter what the guy from NY said politicians aren't the face of the population. The people from every country are quite diverse and some even hate their elected leaders so we would be doing ourselves a favor if we don't generalize.
Also it is not as if we don't want our bad leaders to be ejected but sometimes legal chains exist that make it dificult to demote them.
But that guy from NY is wrong, and there have been LOADS of articles talking about Italian people who hate him too, and the fury that came out after hew as re-elected. Only someone truly ignorant would judge all of Italy by him, or say that most of Italy likes him.
There's much to love about Italy. America lost Bush eventually, thank God, and you'll lose this guy too.
*hugs* I'm sorry you're going through this, though. Believe me, I know it's no fun.
LOL at the NY guy, really dude? Who died and made him an expert on Italian culture and politics. And sometimes I wonder if the people who post on CNN, NYTimes, etc boards are just being facetious? Stereotypes, racial bias, cultural bias everyone has them, and not everyone in the US feels the same way as the NY poster.
And if you're worried about your country's image to the rest of the world, you can't please everyone, and all things really do come to pass.
