Unwelcome

So our Scandanavian friends no longer want to come to the United States? And they are apparently not alone: "[T]ourism is down by one fifth to the USA since September 11, 2001, something that has cost the American tourist industry 200,000 jobs."
"People experience the USA as a difficult land to visit, and it is not very pleasant being met by armed guards, demands of photo and fingerprints and a barrage of questions,"

So we are the new France --arrogant and unfriendly to foreigners.
Time to rename the freedom fries yet again.
