Its good to see that Americans still believe that they can control other countries. Here's a thought have any other countries complained? No. Because the know that its none of their bussiness.
2000 signetures wow is that what 0.0002 pecent of the American population. Now I'm scared. what will we do.
Simple fact WE DONT CARE. Stay in your country and stop trying to bully others.

I have lived in the US for over three years now and I love it here. The poeple are friendly and welcoming and it is indeed the land of opportuninity.

Like every other country in the world the US does indeed have its fair share of small minded, racist, uneducated swines that jump on any band wagon that should roll their way. Need Scotland remind that small group in the US, especially the in south that nearly 95% of those who died at the Alamo were Scottish or of Scottish decent. Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, Jim Bowie and a whole list of others families were originally from Scotland. We gave the world the telephone, penecilin, the fountain pen, the television, the suspension bridge and some of the worlds best doctors and engineers. Without Scotland the US would more than likely never have produced/purchased the volume of oil that in is now today 100% reliant upon.

The US is a country born of immigrants. Unless you are native American then you are more than likely French, British, Irish, German......the list goes on. Should we blame every single person with Austrian heritage for the actions of Hitler. Should we blame every US citizen for the awful treatment of the Native Americans.

The Scottish people have done nothing wrong. America should know first hand that a country should not be blamed for the actions of its policticians. Does every American hold up their hands and take the blame of George W., I think not. If the Scottish people re-elect those guilty of releasing a convicted terrorist then you have grounds for a boycott.

Lets also turn our attention to the US who would more than likely have played a role in the release of the very man we are all discussing. The FBI are guilty of fudging eveidence and not carrying out their duties properly. They lied in court and as a result the upcoming appeal may have led to an aquital of the man who is no doubt going to be dead ina couple of weeks.

If you beleive in God then it does not matter where this man dies, he will soon meet the only judge that truly counts. If you are religous then you should be ashamed of you treatment of a country for the actions of its politicians.

The US seems to forget that the UK has stood by its ally when no other country would dare to. A well respected British Prime Minister tarnished his career to keep the bonds of its strongest ally alive. I don't need to hear any arguments about us being bailed out of WWII. You came in late because your ships were being attacked, because you were concerned about the strength the Nazi's were showing.

Your small mined, ridiculous attitudes threaten the people of a country who have done nothing wrong. A small group of politicians elected the wrong man for a position he is not fit to hold. If you pin back your ears and listen to the Scottish people you will learn they are just as upset as Americans. Scottish men, women and children died in that terrorist attack as well. Our numbers were far less but it was on our soil.

R. Cashman. You can keep your US dollars in your pocket. You are going to deprive your children the chance to visit a country with so much heritage and so much beauty because you are not intelligent enough to understand the one man does not represent a country. You may as well give up your health, the television, your phone, your car because without Scotland you would have none of it.

I am British, and have lived for most of my 35 years in the West of Scotland. Indeed, if the ill-fated Clipper Maid of the Seas had flown another 5 minutes, it would have taken out my entire neighbourhood, as we are located directly underneath trans-Atlantic flightpaths.

I would like to step back from the hysteria which has been largely whipped up by the media over recent events, and look at facts.

Firstly, I profoundly disagree with the release of Mr Megrahi. However, the release was made in a fully legal manner, in accordance with the relevant laws of Scotland. Whether these laws are right or wrong is for another discussion.

The politicians who have released Mr Megrahi will no doubt suffer at the ballot box, as they should.

However, it is at difficult times like this that friends look to their friends for support. Remember, the USA has not greater ally than the UK. Our histories are inextricably linked for good or bad (let's just ignore that little spat about independence!!).

After 9/11, who was the first to offer comfort and aid - the UK. From little things like the lowering of all our national flags nationwide (only done for the death of a serving Prime Minister or Monarch), the playing of your national anthem instead of ours at Buckingham Palace during Changing of the Guard (unprecedented), to going into Iraq and other places alongside you, no matter how politically difficult it may be.

Our bravest continue to die in the cause of freedom, as do yours. We are therefore friends.

We were still friends when that beacon of democracy, the USA was funding other "homicidal maniacs" - remember Messers MacGuiness & Adams on their "fund raising" trips for the IRA. OK, granted, they did not blow up a British airliner - just British streets, men, women & children.

We did not call for a boycott of USA - no, we spoke with our friends, worked with them to find a common solution.

All governments make mistakes - even our little assembly (not a sovereign state, BTW, but part of the UK). Indeed, your own government is not exactly having a great innings recently.

So, please, step back and look at what you are doing. Any boycott only hurts your friends, the ordinary men & women of Scotland & the UK. We will take care of the politicians who made this decision.

BUT, if your really want to boycott, better boycott all Scottish & British inventions, companies etc. Remember, that includes phones, faxes, the internet, TV, penicillin etc etc.

I was glad my wife and I were able to cancel our plans on vacationing in Scotland. Would be a great place to go if you have a terminal disease. Can commit any crime and know you will be granted a compassionate release. Crazy. There are far better places to spend my tourist dollars. Now seems supporting terrorism can now be called "Being Scotish".

Be aware that whilst Scotland was releasing Gadaffi's footsoldier on compassionate grounds so he might die of cancer at home, your own Senator McCain and a US congressional delegation was having friendly meetings with his boss (Yes: the'Mad Dog' himself - the mastermind apparently behind the Lockerbie attack) to lobby for US oil interests and regularise relationships. McCain apparently praised Gadaffi and called for expanded US ties with Libya.

And you mean to Boycott Scotland?

I think if you go through the boycott Scotland petition you will find about 800 signatures are from Scotland saying how stupid and childish it is.

Al- Magrahi was released by one Man not a nation.

I know it's minor, but I wish the writers of these articles could spell. The word is too when it means an excess, or means also.
