Well this kind of response is expected. When one nation begins to amass too
much power to themselves, even if they intend to use it wisely and for the good of the human population, others will begin to see it as an enemy. To the others' credit though, all nations who have had this kind of power have said this. But to the USA's credit, this time the fundamental difference is that its leader is not seeking world domination. He's going to be gone at the latest in 5 to 6 years. The possible solution to this mess is for the USA to withdraw into its own borders. But this isn't a good idea for the US to do, since now with the proliferation of nuclear and chemical weapons, the USA's enemies will be able to attack it and hide from it from anywhere in the world. Which is why the USA sees the need to go out into the world and find these people. The other solution is the solution of the past problems like this. Wipe the USA's military forces and thus economic force out. The USA will cease to be the only superpower and will leave the European Union to rise in its place. But even though Gaulists would appreciate this move, it wouldn't ideal to the international community in the short run, since much of the world economy and therefore profit is generated by US interests. However in the long run the economy will pick up again once industry finds the time to shift its operations from America over to Europe. Businessmen won't like this because it means loss of profit. They can't gain the profit back during the time of change. France and China are ideal candidates to initiate this type of change. The only other solution that I can think of is for all countries to be consolodated into one global state. Nice for those of us who are fans of Emperor Palpatine, but not a good solution in general. The most ideal solution for a world of greed and jealously and most importantly impatience would then be to see the demise of the United States superpower. Or you could just wait out the next few years and solidify dipolomatic ties with President Hillary. When she gets into the oval office, you may actually have to worry about global domination. But at least the war on terror will be history. Patience is the key. Drippingly yours, Professor Chris, P.h. D.

Oil smoil. Investigate France and Russia. They're the ones with the oil

It would be prudent and wise in my opinion for everyone to not throw insults
like this back and forth. Just let their actions speak for themselves. Chris [View Quote] sw chrisMar 19, 2003, 2:00am
But in what cases? I think it has gone with the courts on several
occasions. I recall something being mentioned about agriculture production in one of my economics classes but I'm not sure. Chris [View Quote] ananasMar 19, 2003, 4:37am

War issues mostly. US soldiers cannot be held responsible for
their crimes against International Law they did during wars. [View Quote] count draculaMar 19, 2003, 5:04am
Might be UN has failed, however, UN was established after WW II to prevent a
new "Hitler" . The actions of USA in this case are very similar to what Germany did before WW II. Make demands you know cannot be fulfilled. Claim the other country to be a treat. Go to war, dont care what the rest of world is thinking. It is exremely dangerous when someone especially in the security council goes solo. It takes away all ( the little that was left) credibility from UN. We are going back to a similar time than the 30-ies. This time we have international rules and laws, but they are ignored, it is like having none at all. Everyone seems to be bashing Saddam for not following this and that rule. Yet they have found no proof he has braken any of these rules. People seems to ignore the fact that when USA attack Iraq, it is not more justified than when Saddam attacked Kuwait. An attack is an attack. My point has not been bashing USA ( Bush yes). If some country do not follow international law, it deserves to be bashed, may it be Sierra Leone, Iraq or even allmighty USA.

A while back I was surfing the website of CNN and they were calling the
possible iraqi war something like the liberation of the iraqi people. I think press should try to be neutral and a media that call ANY war a liberation etc cannot be trustworthy.

FYI i never watch CNN i prefer NBC news. and guess what.... our news is news not made up government shit like goes on around the world. If our news oganizations are not truthfull they do not last long .. We happen to know the truth when it slaps us in the face, unlike many other nations. We do have a freedom of speech....to let people like yourselves spout off your drivel..... WE(as americans) can see right through your lies. Why you may ask.? Because we have had free speech all our lives....we know how to handle it. The people of MOST other countries cannot handle free speech....so when they think they have the ability to speek freely....they feel that speaking lies is ok....cause ya CAN do it...hehehe ... Lie on people WE see right through it. <grin>

the center of the world, and the UN would do much better at making peaceful resoultions if america wasnt in it anyway! oh, and britain can go aswell, hell all they do is agree with what america has to say. as for the building, bush can take it, sit on it, and spin on it for all anyone would care!

who said anything about saddam not being a threat to his people?
but what could kill more innocents, a ruler who kills those who stand in his way, or a war which will kill all, weather standing, sitting or crawling?i mean, if they atleast went into iraq, snatched saddam, and went back out, without bombing the whole country to the ground, then it wouldnt be so bad.

See what I mean? One (1) person made that comment, and no Americans even
responded to it, but yet it is credited to ALL Americans, apparently. Can you tell me without making any generalizations swe, why do Lybians always generalize like that? ;-) [View Quote] bowenMar 19, 2003, 1:10pm

What in the world does that have to do with anything, right or wrong, good
or bad, American or otherwise? Are you grasping for ways to make yourself seem right or him wrong? I sure don't think that that adds to your credibility or take away from his, whether it's even the case or not. Do you really? [View Quote] count draculaMar 19, 2003, 2:30pm
I belive nations are to belived to be what picture they give to the rest of
the world . In other worlds what shows is believed to be the "voice" of the entire nation. Finns are for example considered shy and quiet, we have weird habits like hitting ourselves with branches of birch, we drink a lot of vodka and are more or less drunk all the time. We also like to fight with knives. Personally I drink about once per 3 year or so, but since we are considered to be drunks, not much I can do about it, just live with it and make fun of it :) So I belive when ppl say "americans" they do not refer to every single citizen of USA, but more like to the "noisiest" group that we as foreigner see, and that group happens to be the president in your case. It is often easier to see faults from outside, so I am sure "americans" see the faults of "europeans" better than we do ourselves ?
