Well, thanks to 16 years in the Navy, I've been to:

Canada
Panama
St. Thomas, which of course isn't a country, but it felt like a third world dump
Curacao
Spain
France
Italy
Germany
Austria
Saudi Arabia
United Arab Emirates
Norway
Denmark

And I'm sure there's one or two more out there, but right now it's 2 in the am and I have had four hours of sleep...

Outside of the United States, I've been to:

Mexico
Italy
Canada
Aruba
The Netherlands
France
Monaco

In that order. Yeah, I live in Minnesota, and yet I traveled to Mexico and Italy before ever going to Canada. And Monaco doesn't really count... it's not a REAL country anyway, and I never even got off the train. At least I stayed overnight in France, and I got out for a few hours in The Netherlands.

If you want to be very strict: holland are only 2 provinces of the 12 the Netherlands consists of.

(And to piss off everybody living in the other 10: The names are interchangeable because everything what happens in the Netherlands of any importance, really happens either in north or south holland...)

Oh, obligatory on-topic comment: Yes, i've been in more than 3 countries
These people are Americans. Don't expect anything meaningful or... uh... normalcy...

Let see, hmmm, 22 years in the USAF, off the top of my head I've been to:

USA(all 50 states))
Mexico
Canada
Panama,
Bermuda,
Haiti,
Dominican Republic,
Peru,
Columbia,
Brazil,
Argentina,
Chile,
Greenland,
Iceland,
United Kingdom,
Ireland,
Sweden,
Norway,
Denmark,
Spain,
Portugal,
Belgium,
France,
Germany,
Crotia,
Italy,
Greece,
Turkey,
Egypt,
Somalia,
Djibouti,
Kenya,
Saudi Arabia,
Bahrain,
Oman,
Qatar,
United Arab Emirates,
Kuwait,
Yemen(the good one and the bad one,)
China,
Thailand,
Viet Nam,
Singapore,
Philppines,
Japan,
Korea(the good one not the bad one,)
Indonesia,
Australia,
New Zealand,
Tahiti,
Fiji,

and more....

...ohh theres been so many I'm losing count, last time I sat down and counted it added up to about 129 different countries and territories. I've flown over just about all of them too. It's been a whole "lotta" fun.

The USA has always been number one! I have many favorite countries and places to visit BUT It's always been a pleasure to come home to the USA. There is just no comparison and people from other places just don't get it or won't admit it to you(that's "Nationalism" for ya!). I recommend all Americans get out there and travel, then you'll understand and really appreciate the USA.

So, Yes, I've been to more than 3 countries...

How about the question "Has anyone lived in more than 3 countries?"

Lived meaning more than 6 months.
Bush Tax Cuts == Job Killer
June 2001: 132,047,000 employed
June 2003: 129,839,000 employed
2.21 million jobs were LOST after 2 years of Bush Tax Cuts.
