Who loves America?

[MOBIUS]

Yeah, the blind paranoia of the US passport controls is really shooting itself in the foot big time...

Anyways I have seen about 80% of what I want to see in your country, so boycotting it for a few years is no skin off my nose.

I love America!

It's just the moronic religious fundy you have as a leader and the ***** that elected him that I have a problem with - so that means I actually like the majority of the population...

Though personally I am quite happy to see him returned to power as it will probably accelerate the downfall of the US' power - which can only be a good thing considering the way that it is currently being abused...

[MOBIUS]

The shame is that the US could be such a power for good in the world...

People in the US really should sit up and think just why it is that so many people the world over hates its policies - and we're not just talking about its 'War on Terror' and pursuit of not existant WMD etc...

No, it is practically every foreign policy the country has like stabbing its war on terror allies in the back with protectionist trade wars for example...

(though we soon made Bush change his mind by getting ready to target industries identified as key backers to his regime - backed down pretty quick he did too, like a b*tch-slapped *****...)

I am really struggling to think of 'good' foreign policies from America - even the supposedly free aid comes with nasty strings attached...

Can someone help me?

With attitudes like that I wish the US would go back into isolation, and let the world see how things would be then.

The good ones are the ones that advance our interests. The bad ones are those that don't.

[Japher]

Thank god we didn't sign that Kyoto thingy

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

Amen brother.

[Pekka]

Japher, no we weren't. Some were. We were doing just fine up here in north. Don't generalize .

[DinoDoc]

You're just mad because we saved the Soviets from the Nazi/Finn alliance.

[Pekka]

We had no military alliance. And we weren't taking out the SU. a) we didn't have the resources to do it and b) we didn't want to do it and c) if we did do it, we would have truly declared war on the SU. We could have cut the main support roads EASY. We were right next to them. But we stopped and Mannerheim REFUSED to cut it and Hitler was FURIOUS. THere's an alliance to you. If anything, Germany offered us support against an invasion. No one else did, except some volunteers and Swedes helped us a bit. I'm not mad US helped the Soviets. They fought Nazis after all. But US did not help a small country who faced communist aggression and invasion either. I'm not mad about that either. All I'm saying is there are 1000 views on things, and there is no single view that is 100% right and the rest are false.

I also love USA sluts.

My point is that any nation on top will basically make policies that are designed to keep them on top. It's foolish of anyone to expect that the U.S. would do otherwise. The debate inside the U.S. is to whether or not the current policies advance the best interests of the U.S.

Also, Europe initiated most of the previous and current problems in the middle east and asia. So it's not fair for the U.S. to be blamed solely for the current crisis.

Then why in f**king f**k isn't America making those policies??? Bush has single-handedly cut America's projected lifespan in half.
