Ah, smelling anti-American sentiments again, eh? Just because someone dares
to criticize - and of course, Eno didn't criticize America as a whole, but
only those who claim to own 'the American spirit', bashing everyone else to
be anti-American. Wake up, man! To be truly American would mean no longer 
to
blindly follow those religious-conservative hardliners and power-hungry oil
billionaires into a brutal unnecessary war which will be led not for
humanist reasons, but solely for cheap oil and political control over it.

I recommend for you to read Crimson biographer Sid Smith's diary (Jan 3rd
entry) at http://diaries.krimson-news.com/SidSmith.shtml.
Sid writes about Eno's article:

> Dismissing this article as US bashing is to profoundly miss the point. 
>Eno
’s words are equally applicable to the UK.

and:

> To be anti-Bush isn’t to be anti-American

but read for yourself.
