    And what will bring down the American people is Bush's foreign policy.

        If you think that a successful country doesn't need friends, then you're mistaken. The point of a foreign policy is either:

        a) using your might efficiently
        b) making some friends

        Since America's might is eroding, you should be busy using it to make some friends, not pissing them off. In other words, it always matter what other people think of your foreign policy.

          For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

            Americans seem very interested in Spanish politics at the moment too.


            You also have to remember that as America is the hyper-power everyone is bound to take an interest, because political decisions there will impact on what happens here, there and everywhere. This is not true, by and large, for individual European countries.

              This "hyper-power" hyperbole isn't particularly descriptive.
              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                Replace it with 'super-power' if it makes you feel better.

                  I cannot tell you how happy I am that Europe has such negative feelings about the US. All these years in the EU and we were feeling unique. But now we're just a part of a greater sum. Really makes you feel you belong. But europeans were always slow on catching on anyway so they're forgiven.

                      Greece is a 1st world country, 24th in the list of developped countries in the UN (above Israel for example) and we don't like the US. Kind of breaks down your logic a bit.

                        And our health care system is better than say the UK one (again according to EU and UN stats) and we STILL don't like the US.

                        How more developped must we get to actually start like it according to your spectacular logic?

                          Right. Keep telling yourself that, if it makes you feel better.

                            It makes me feel no different and it's not me who's saying that. I was wondering about your logic.

                              I threw a statement out there. Amazing you automatically assumed it applied to Greece.

                              I here the sounds of "I am a big boy!, Look at me I am too big!"


                              It's ok pattycakes, Greece can sit at the big peoples table.
