none in particular, colin. i was refering to caio's statement concerning anti americanism. while i agree that some countries, from time to time, seem ingrateful when complaining about the usa as they receive us aid, with aid often comes demands or, at least pressures. as an extreme example, i remember botha once justifying apartheid by saying that white occupation had raised the standard of living of native south-africans. while it is true that white occupation did raise the economy of south africa, it only benefited the white occupiers. at any rate, my comment was not particulary serious.
