I never thought Americans were douches' in the first place, especially after speaking to a tonne of you through 2+2.
I 'get' the outburst but only as a non-American, especially with it being off-the-cuff. I have to say I cringed a little when I first saw it on the news though.
That said, I still like you all
, and **** Bin-Laden, **** Al-Qaeda, and **** all that they represent and the atrocities they carried out. I imagine, because I do not recall, that there were celebrations of a similar nature after 9-11 in another part of the world.
My first thought was 'oh dear, what kind of retaliation is next?'. Forgot all about it by the time I got on the tube this morning though.
