[Ted Striker]

NAME THAT MOVIE!!!!

"So, who is on our side?"

"500 million screaming Chinese."

"I thought there were a BILLION screaming Chinese Sir?"

*throws coffee on fire*

"There were."

Opposition to US military presence != Anti-Americanism.

Red Dawn of course. "WOLVERINES!!!!!"

It was "Red Dawn"? ****, I remember that part now! It was said by that Air Force pilot they found. What the hell is wrong with my memory? I'm forgetting lines from the greatest "American guerilla fighters in WWIII" movie ever made...

this blind hatred of schröder and chirac makes me sick.

really, we americans should be smarter than to be duped by demagogues in the media who do nothing but demonize and trash those who disagree with them. and really, these days, i see and hear more liberal bashing than i do conservative bashing across all media outlets.

oh, never mind. i forgot that most americans, by and large, are stupid fcuks.

as for this business about redefining neutrals, allies, and enemies... i'm all for it. we out to stay where we have committments, but our foreign policy should be driven far more by realism than by idiotic neoconservatism.

Somebody answer my damn question . . .

Another fine article from the National Review....

I am sorry but this views are so amateurish they really aren't worth the paper they were writen, and using up bytes in the internet to "discuss" them is pointless.

Now, does anyone have any good "Foreign Policy" pieces to dscuss.

[Whaleboy]

So, ummm, what are "America's friends" (it sounds like a dark comedy) supposed to do anyway? Is it like an international version of "simon says"?

In any case, I'm starting to think that this situation is becoming more and more like a school playground. You got neocons saying that might makes right ( ), you have what seems to be a network of brown noses accross the continents. I'm thinking bullies and bullied.

Our allies? UK, Israel, Japan, Germany, Australia, Canada for sure. They include the #2, #3, and #7 strongest economies. UK and Japan also have the #2 and #4 strongest NAVY in the world, respectively, while Israel's military is qualitatively the best in the world only to us.

I consider France and Russia now as occasional allies. Germany is somewhat reluctant to fight wars.
