That you can't just cry war and unleach the hounds? In all, maybe they were just more intelligent that the US government.

Violence is the last resort of the incompetent. Doesn't mean it's not damn effective sometimes.

quote:sometimes i wonder about the maturity of the "all or nothing" argument .. and it would be interesting to see what would happen if a country like tha USA decided to limit itself to within it's borders .. would other countries suffer? in the short term.. probably but in the long term we'd get by .. much of what Canada exports would no longer be exported and in the long run that would benefit our nation .. the water/wood/power/grain/oil/natural gas .. would stay in canada and the surplus would mean lower cost for canadaians,

If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh

Never done a damn thing right have we. Guess it's just time to quit.
It's fairly obvious that we're just a greedy, fat, worthless, money grubbing, war mongerying, bully that is absolutly nothing like every other nation on earth. So, due to the stunning realization that the rest of the world is right, we're just gonna withdraw from EVERYTHING!
That's it! We quit! Fin!
No more foreign aid, no more immigrants, no more trade, no more student exchanges, no more traveling abroad (hell we'll even scrap our international airports and donate the rubble to Africa or something), no more "best foreign film" category at the Oscars..... sicne we're so irreversably f----d up and beyond doing a thing right, we MUST withdraw from the world and just let the perfect, brilliant, utterly without flaw, selfless, saintly, and all-together superior human beings in every other nation on earth live in perfect harmony without our corrupting inffluence.

A conspiracy of silence speaks louder than words...

Ever heard of that little Micronesian Island called Bikini? Your government vapourised the islands of Bokonijien, Aerokojlol, Nam in that little hit too... why should you be trusted?

quote:Maybe you should ask yourself why they say such things.If it was only a minority of the international media and community than it could be a point worth arguing but seeing as almost every nation on the planet (allies and enemies alike) is miffed by our behavior as of recent, maybe there is some truth to what is being said.Also just because we have a coalition of 45 governments around the world supporting our gov't doesn't mean the people of these nations feel the same way.And aren't the people the ones we should be afraid of?
