Wow, I didn't say bash everything about the US! Yes, our people are more overweight than any country on the planet. Yes, we drive super large SUV's to pick up a gallon of milk, Yes, our tourists are often bitching about not having a television, or wearing some tacky looking shirts with cameras around their neck. Yes, our voters are easily brainwashed by an idiot from Texas. Yes, we have the strongest military in the world. But you know what, there is good in that as well, when it is used FOR GOOD. Which you are right, our might is not often used for the right reasons. Especially under this dumbass president. I for one, do not have an attitude that the US can do whatever it wants, I think that with being the biggest and the strongest, we must take the lead in HELPING humanity and guarding PEACE, which this president knows nothing about, unless oil is concerned. We must work with ALL countries and come to agreements about our environment, rogue nations (yes, under Bush, we are a ROGUE nation). We can not just tell other very important countries such as France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Spain, etc etc....that their opinions don't matter. One day, the U.S. will NEED them, and then they WILL remember what GW Bush did to them....and payback hurts. However, just because GW is acting hitler like, doesn't mean that everything the U.S. has ever done is evil. Far from it.
