A most interesting thread I must say. More quality content than many.
It appears that America should carry a big stick and never use it according to a few people. Because if we have a big stick and use it without the worlds permission we are HATED for it. Hated for seeking out those who have wronged us. Hated for utilizing our big stick for its intended purpose. Maybe we didn't smooch up to a few less that supportive countries and give them a chance at the contracts? Maybe we no longer view them as best friends and now consider them to be a liability? I say we hit the non-supporters in their checkbook and now they are crying foul.
Funny how Colin Powell can be the next "Great American Hope" after being a part in all that makes us HATED around the world. I guess he just sits in his office and collects a check every month while planning his presidency with Hillary. Its all GWB's fault.
IMO - NATO is now cowering in fear of having to perform a police action (like in Africa maybe) because the US may not support it by providing 100% of the money, aid and troops. I guess the many nations that now HATE us don't want to put their sons, daughters, and money where their mouth is.
