me and the american bandana

I live somewhere in the north west of the united kingdom..and i have some british mates who happened to be into politics. and they always ask me questions about the situation in the middle east trying to understand it from a "local" point of view.
in general people here tend to ask me much about my country and how is it back there. sometime they seem to be genuinely interested in knowing these stuff. maybe the middle east issues are "stylish" just like drinking Magners over here these days hehe.
and since u dont know me yet i guess i'll have to admit that i love being asked all sorta questions as i like to play "mr know it all" so when u make that mistake and ask me about something make sure that u r seriously interested cuz i really explain much, to an extent that even an interested guy will get bored and regret the fact he asked at the fisrt place.
back to those mates of mine who r into politics. we had lots of chats about the situation in the middle east, the american involvement, and the american policy towards the region. my opinion was always very clear.
I have always believed that the americans will never understand the situation in the middle east, and will keep on making one mistake after another, as long as they are approaching the problems in such a naive way and trying to tackle the results rather than the causes (i will deffo explain what i mean by this at later times).
it was obvious for my mates that i am not very "pro american" untill they've recently seen me wearing the american flag as a head bandana!
ray? american bandana?..does not add up ...how come?
well its not a secret that the americans are not very popular generally in the UK..and this has to do with lots (again i may come across this in details in near future), so you would not expect a brit to use the american flag as a bandana...actually you would not expect anyone "but american" to wear that, let alone a Syrian guy who is not very fond of the american policy towards his country. that really rised a question for my mates...though the answer was very simple..
there were two reasons for me to wear that bandana,
firstly, i do oppose the american role in the middle east and i really disagree with their policy. YET, i have nothing but respect to the americans as a nation and to the american people and values!
my second reason is even more simple..i use the bandana cuz sometimes i run outta time and i cant shave my head b4 heading out!
