[George21666]

This could just be my simple naivete that appears to be quite typical of we Americans, but I think it is quite simply a matter of envy. We are the global equivalent of the Captain of the football team. While everyone claims to be our friends, underneath there seems to be some real resentment. Everyone seems to be very friendly with us when we are doing what serves thier countries interests, or better sill…pulling their collective asses out of the fire (i.e. France on multiple occassions). However, if they disagree with any of our global actions, the criticism bypasses all levels of debate and dicourse and goes directly to anti-american hate. What the rest of the world is loath to admit is that if America ever decided to adhere to the vitriolic ‘advice’ of it’s detractors, and simply mind its own business (that includes peace-keeping, trade, finacial aid, etc), this planet would quickly fall into utter chaos. Incidentally, I don’t know who said it first, but my new favorite quote is, ‘Going to war without the French is like going deer hunting without and accordian’. Love it.
