I am very proud to be an American and am looking forward to the day I won't be embarrassed any longer. I went to France in 2005 because I couldn't take the Bush BS and had to leave for my own patriotic sanity. Everyone I met in France was so kind and cool. I was embarrassed back then too. Remember Freedom Fries? The French people ALL said, "Don't take it so hard. These people come and go and it won't always be like this." Of course their country is a lot older (and wiser in many ways). I reflect on that often these days.
