Anti-American Sentiment? What Anti-American Sentiment?

Is anyone else as annoyed as I am by the SCLM's reports of "strong anti-American sentiment" (Elisabeth Bumiller's term) at the summit in Argentina?

Seems to me that folks down there are protesting Bushco's alleged policies, just like we like to do up here, except that there the security forces aren't quite so careful about making sure he doesn't have his eyes sullied by us.

Here's my angry form-letter to all the MSM this morning. Feel free to elaborate on it-- this is one more thing we shouldn't take lying down.

Dear [assorted editor person]

I would like to point out to [your reporter and your SCLM outlet] that George W. Bush is not encountering "strong anti-American sentiment" in Argentina. He's encountering strong anti-Bush sentiment, something that he's much better protected from here at home, where his travels are more carefully insulated.

None of the display that's going on in Argentina, at least as depicted by your [paper, website, network] and other news media, seems to be aimed at a dislike of our country. What's being expressed is a dislike of the Bush administration and its policies. By calling this "anti-American sentiment", [your reporter] asks us to share in the criticism Mr. Bush is receiving, whether we support his alleged policies or not.

Sincerely,
