Larry, the Nazis they are harboring must be getting pretty old by now...
and
I doubt the average Argentine has much praise for them, either.
There are plenty of holders of viewpoints equally distasteful in this
country, and even our official policies seem to be drifting rightward a
bit
frighteningly in the name of "Homeland Security"... I'd be interested in
going to Argentine, and I don't think I'll encounter more facists there
than
I could find in the USA with equal effort in searching for them (which I
won't!).
A little more tolerance, please; perhaps a bottle of that red wine would
mellow your mood...?
