wow...some of you guys are idiots. Countries are going to do what is in their best interest. France was making a lot of money off of iraq. Of course they don't want us to go in there and blow saddam to hell. We, however, had other interests, and leaving saddam in power wasn't in concordance with those interest. So I don't think that we should ask france's permission or anyone else.
The simple fact of the matter is that the UN is completely useless in matters like these. No rogue nation is going to listen to there "mandates" because they refuse to inforce them. How many resolutions did the UN pass against Iraq? and they just wanted to give more time over and over again. There comes a time when you have to draw a line in the sand and say buck up or shut up.
And then they have the gall to complain when we won't give them contracts? if i were bush, i wouldn't have been nearly so civil about this. Of course we want to give the contracts to US companies, so the US companies can be taxed off of the revenue, and we can get a small portion of our 200 billion back. Of course we want to stimulate our economy instead of the economies of those nations who wouldn't help because they were making money off of the enemy.
France's greed and arrogance to feel they deserve such a thing was appalling."Mal nommer les choses, c'est accroître le malheur du monde" - Camus (thanks Davout)

Oh, and stopping homogays from marrying. Ooo, scary.

Deeply intuned to the common man as well
The common man watches Jerry Springer and thinks 'Survivor' is all real. I don't want someone intuned with the common man leading the country.

Again, not us, we wouldn't have been speaking Germany, well I don't know about that but at least not Russia. Again the old WWII argument. Hey, our grandfathers died in it too. So shut up or get a life all the people who still uses this as a 'valid' argument. Bow down to france, without france there would be no US.
Silly argumentsIn da butt.

These are the same Latin American countries that are drifting left? The same European countries that are giving up on centuries of ethnic chauvinism to form the EU. The same countries that are in the process of supporting gay rights.
Only the US is really drifting right. You are profoundly out of step with the rest of the world.
Y'know what? I've had it with the world. I've had it with taking goddamn broadsides from the right-wingers, and I've ****ing had it taking broadsides from the left-wingers.
I happen to support gay rights, thankyouverymuch. I happen to support a lot of things the more reactionary members of my party oppose because, frankly, I don't feel threatened by it.
If I'm out of step with the rest of the world, then screw it. I can only articulate so much before I say to hell with it all.

For some reason, however, you never hear Canadians cracking that tired old "if it wasn't for us" line. Maybe because they're not suffering from an inferiority complex or the obsessive need to have everyone like them.
But if it makes you feel any better, I would hereby like to declare my official hatred for:
Spain (Relentlessly persecuting Protestants between roughly 1566 and 1795)
England (6 wars over who had the best navy between 1652-1803)
Portugal (Biggest economic competitor in the East Indies trade market)
France (numerous wars, including ones from 1672, 1685, 1747, 1795 and, of course, Napoleon)
Belgium (invaded in 1304, seperated from us in 1830)
Italy (Roman invasion up until the Rhine river)
Scandinavia (All you Northmen looting our shores)
Germany (1940-1945 wasn't the first indiscretion, you bastards!)
There. I hereby hate all those countries so that I can use the exact same reasoning to like America.
...
You know, I just don't have that much burning hatred to spread around. I guess I'll just have to judge America on what it's doing today."I'm too young and too male to be the mother of a seventeen year old female me!"
