Canada is not a world power, and its interests often coincide with those of the US in many regards. Thus, it doesn't have to take the action the US does, nor could it if it wanted to.

No (although what you've replaced them with isn't very desirable either ).

On September 11th.....

The CIA did not overthrow the Chilean democracy! It is a COMMUNIST LIE! Why, Chile was oppressed BECAUSE of the communists! Luckily the glorious Americans came to save the Chilean people from the deep despair that is communism

Allende had it coming.

I assumed you were talking about GWB and the US

A reasonable assumption, given that you created a whole thread on that topic.

Anyone the US doesn't like has it coming Why, they violate the will of the Lord God Reagan with their mere existence!

Lonestar clearly supports my questioning of Kuci

I support anything that involves Pie. Does your questioning involve pie?

And, back to the OT, withdrawl from Germany was a long time coming.

Though she should note that, in relation to economic size, Greece is the winner.

The United States itself is beginning to slip into despotism, but only after putting millions of others in despotism in the name of "fighting communism".
Yes, its done much good but its also done much bad. "What power hasn't" you ask, but I ask: If Americans KNOW this is happening, why the **** don't they stop it? Some would say the US has never been a democracy, but Americans still have a lot of control over their government - its just that leaders know that none of them choose to exercise it.
Americans know about the atrocities the US has helped, funded, and commited in the name of bringing freedom to others. So, why don't they take action to stop it? "Some Americans do!" you might say, but Americans are more concerned about gay marriage than they are about keeping their own government in check.

No nation can be perfect and selfless. However, when Americans go off espousing about how, essentially, the US is the savior of the world...Don't be surprised when people start resenting you, especially those people whos lives you ruined for your own national interests.

If only it was as black and white as you suppose. In a nation of 300 million people there is great debate over what is right and wrong. The people and the government do learn and they do change. Sometimes it isn't what fits your definition of a right or wrong philosophy. WRT others resenting our actions, I daresay that would be the case in any event...it's a consequence of having power.

I think your right on this one. Germany has little need of US forces eithier domestically or internationally. The contingent that remains will be only to maintain forward presence and not as a defense force. This should be a good thing.
