One can only defeat one's point in this way, as Dondel did in his letter. But back to Malchman, in view of the fact that there are many people in the world who travel and who do not try to understand or accept cultural, social, or physical differences between their own and their host country, Malchman has poked fun at just these people for those who are not so narrowminded, for those who do indeed see past those things. Angry replies to this article about the US were neither necessary nor appropriate. At least Malchman, in his own way, justified his stay in a country he found 'so loathsome." That was more than his French critic did in his letter. I agree that good and bad exist everywhere, that we should '"see beyond the facade."
