Great country. Amazing culture. Irreplacable contributions to humanity and science.
I can't imagine how life had been in my country without all the media that's imported from the US.
It is, however since the 80's a broken democracy, and a destabilizing player in world politics. Money is such a power factor that politicians vote against the popular opinion of their people over 90%. And that has basically warped the political spectrum to such a degree that you have what would be a pretty right wing european liberalist party going up against a downright facist ultra liberal theocracy party.
I don't mind when the US intervenes in world politics. I think Bill Clinton saved many lives in Kosovo. But because of the industries profiting from war and more war, you end up with more intentionally incompetent wars like Vietnam and Iraq than good ones. And that's really scary.
I think the american people mean well, but doesn't understand the death and destruction that happens in the world every time they vote a Dick Cheney into office.
I LOVE ICELAND!
