Do you separate a person from their country's ideology? Can you see the american individual as being much like yourself or do you think because of the beliefs of the leaders of a country, all people from that country think like their leaders.

Yes. I have a firm belief that majority of people are one and the same, excepting that they come from different countries. It is the politicians who are dividing the people with their own ideologies which has no backing of the people of the country/countries. You take an NGO of different countries, they agree on all aspects of cooperation. You take the politicians of all countries, there is nothing but dissent.

I've noticed that it's the general concensus amongst non US posters to lump all Americans into one package. I have written several pleas to them to request they start looking at us as individuals, not carbon copies of our leaders. I heard on TV that they hate Americans. Hate is a pretty strong word to use against people you haven't even met. We all tend to stereotype too much, I think, and we shouldn't. How could I possibly generalize about all Tunisians just because I know 1? I couldn't, but people do it all the time.

In a healthy democracy the leaders popularity rate should not exceed 48% because when it does something stinks. So no I do not make that correlation.
