Patty, as madduck said, I do not hold you responsible for what Bush's
government has been doing. And I sincerely hope that with who ever
becomes the new president things will improve.
Regardless of the statistics presented, however, I know quite a number
of people in my situation (as I said: no properties, no children, in
the 20-35 age group) who have been denied the visa to the US. And I
also know other people that while having a visa have been awfully
mistreated at the borders.
It's for those reasons, and not because I hold any grudge against
American people, that I'd prefer to see a change in US foreign policy
before we have DebConf in the US.
