Harold Pinter uses the 'N' word...
And even if you don't agree with him - just consider for a moment that this is what people are thinking about us.
The playwright Harold Pinter last night likened George W Bush's administration to Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany, saying the US was charging towards world domination while the American public and Britain's "mass-murdering" prime minister sat back and watched.
Pinter, 72, was at the National Theatre in London to read from War, a new collection of his anti-war poetry that had been published in the press in response to events in Iraq. In conversation on stage with Michael Billington, the Guardian's theatre critic, Pinter said the US government was the most dangerous power that had ever existed....
The playwright said: "The US is really beyond reason now. It is beyond our imagining to know what they are going to do next and what they are prepared to do. There is only one comparison: Nazi Germany.
"Nazi Germany wanted total domination of Europe and they nearly did it. The US wants total domination of the world and is about to consolidate that.
"In a policy document, the US has used the term 'full-spectrum domination', that means control of land, sea, air and space, and that is exactly what's intended and what the US wants to fulfil. They are quite blatant about it."
Replies: somebody speaks up.
Wasn't there a high-level German cabinet official (a woman) who compared Knucklehead to Hitler? I believe that was last year. She was forced to resign.
Then earlier this year there was a Canadian official (also a woman) who, thinking the cameras were off, commented to an associate, "those damn Americans, I can't stand the bastards!" She kept her position but had to issue a public apology.
It would appear that women have more balls than men.
