Jealous of our freedom: the international theme song

My reader may recall when I was hangin' out in a beer garden in Berlin near the zoo (don't try to pronounce that word for an animal park in German) with other people from the U.S. and our fellow beer garden patrons were giving us dirty looks (probably due to our excessive frivolity, but of course not excessive to me!) and we realized that it was because: They were just jealous of our freedom.

Recall this?

I found out lately when one of the other people who engaged in frivolity at the beer garden went to yet another foreign country that: some English guy in London made up a song about this to that song that is like "don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?"

The song goes:

Don't you wish your country was free like me?
Don't you wish your country had democracy?
Don't you? Don't you?
Don't you? Dont' you?

So, everyone is now so jealous of our freedom that they're making up songs to mock our freedom? Talk about sour grapes! I guess maybe it's time we brought some "freedom" to Europe... After all, our missions to bring freedom to Iraq and Afghanistan have been a smashing success. Nowhere on the planet is as free as they are right now. They're so free it hurts. And it's time to share the wealth.
