I have truly tried to look at the world situation from all sides, and I have reached some conclusions.
As I see it.
Iraq:
Iraq in the big and immediate future was a serious potential threat but with years of sanctions had been significantly weakened as an immediate threat.
Iran:
Iran was probably in the development stages of nuclear weapons but IMO they stepped it up after seeing how GWB just invaded Iraq can?t blame them really.
Korea:
After Afghanistan Korea is IMO the biggest threat to world security, however I wonder if they would have kept the status quo if they had not felt threatened by the United States.
I have Korean friends and they DO NOT respond to being ignored and threatened in a positive way I am sure, so this is no way to handle foreign policy. If some but bully threatened me and called me evil and then turned his back and wouldn?t talk you can be sure I wouldn?t just sit there and wait I would get a stick or something and be ready.
Russia:
In the last 2 years I have seen large scale losses of freedom and increased government centralization. Many Russian citizens when asked, prefer this and feel more secure, I have friends in Russia and from Russia, life is hard there with the average Russian making less then 30 bucks a month. rent is not free and food isn?t either.
Europe:
After ww2 the united states was considered the hero of the Europeans, we were fair honest and fairly noble we did help shape the face of Europe.
Now I would hesitate to travel to Europe as my American accent might get my ars kicked. It is safe to say we are not the heroes of the European masses anymore, esp. after the Iraqi prison abuse thing.
The United Nations:
GWB actually tried to bully them and threaten them with ?irrelevance? if they did not comply with his obviously short sighed views on Iraq; he even allowed the large scale France bashing that ensued afterward instead of saying well ok enough is enough. ?Freedom fries? make me want to barf.
Lies lies and more lies:
There have been numerous instances some extreme where the American people have been lied to, Iraq, prison abuse, etc etc.
IMO we are today seen around the world as bigoted Christian purists pushing ourselves and our way of life on everyone weather they want it or not.
