#37 said: "the Basque still cannot receive fair treatment and recognition" . Well, first: I said that I live in Spain but actually I´m from Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain). Please, we have enough with our terrorists speaking about freedom while they are killing Basques and Spaniards. This topic is enough important for being treated without criterion.
#37 said: "for you and others with your attitude." What´s my attitude? don´t be agree with you? almost half of the comments of this post are not agree with your position...

I´m sure that the decribed situation is NOT the normal one (I´m not stupid), but the point is that a high percent of foreigners that travel to USA feels like they are treated like terrorists and unfortunatelly the policy in UK and Europe is changing and it would be the same soon: don´t forget that USA forced UE to sign a treatment for getting many data from passengers (These data include credo) and our stupid countries signed it: forget the days when we used to fly wearing our shoes :P ...

#29 I couldn´t say it better.

#13 love america??? are you joking??? I have nothing against your country but "love".... I think It would be better for your "good relations" with tourists if you don´t treat them like criminals. Come on, Do you know that Police ask you if you want to kill the President?? Do you know any "normal" country with that policy? it´s totally crazy. ...And maybe you really want to kill Bush (metaphorically), and then you have to lie :P.
What happen in other countries?
A. Spain has almost the same tourist like USA and I´ve never seen these kind of situations
B. Spain also had a great and vile attack that was made by Al-Queda and (fortunatelly) we are not increassing our agressivity agaisnt foreigners.

I´m a spanish researcher and I have some friends working in the States. We usually laugh about american policy on Foreigners (We joke because you couldn´t take that seriusly...). It´s unbeliveable that nobody says nothing about this medieval attack against "criminals" like that woman or other tourists. This is more annoying when you are traveling for business: Visa for some months and come back to your country to get another one (and don´t mistake the date!). In my opinion Brazil makes a good point, probably US people travelling around this country will think about what do you feel if you go to another country and you are threated. I heart some times, and it´s getting more popular, that european people prefers not to travel to the States and be safer & more calm travelling around Europe, South-America or Asia.
