'Tips For Blending In...'

American Propaganda, for domestic consumption only...

The following is a good example of how the US media teach Americans to fear the outside world. It starts from the top with W Bush saying 'you are either with us or against us' and then the media chimes in from there.

Even the pro-war americans I've met traveling in Ireland say that this is a friendly (and debateful) place to be.

I have yet to read an article in an American paper that says 'Friends sentiments make American tourists feel welcome, in spite of war' - I wonder why?

Tips for blending in

Concerned about being a magnet for anti-Americanism during your next trip abroad? Bruce McIndoe, CEO of iJet Travel Intelligence, offers his tips for staying under the radar:

- Avoid American fast-food restaurants and chains.

- Keep discussions of politics to private places, not rowdy bars.

- Take a rain check on wearing clothes featuring American flags or sports team logos.

- Keep your passport out of sight.

-Keep cameras, video equipment and maps tucked away.

- Soften your speech; Americans typically overshadow their hosts in the volume department.
