Tango, do me a HUGE favor. While I do somewhat enjoy trying to decode your posts, I find that it is terribly difficult to understand your point when you write like an eighth grader! Please reread your posts and spell check them. I don't expect perfect grammar/spelling from anyone here (certainly I've posted a few poorly phrased comments), but at least a token effort would be greatly appreciated.
As for your post about world opinion in regards to the US and our friendliness with Iraq in the past, I rather like what Jolly Roger had to say. He beat me to bringing up the Lend-Lease program of WWII (ya bastid!). <-- improperly spelled for humor effect. His point is very valid, friends change daily, fifty years ago the French were our friends and the Germans were our enemies. What kind of car do you drive? I can almost assure you that if it isn't Japanese, some part of it was made in Japan or made by a Japanese company - they were once the bad guys too. Don’t get me started about China.
The big dog on the block will always be held to an unachievable standard. If we sent checks to every man, woman, and child on this Earth for enough money to live well forever, we'd be *****ed at because John Adams got his check before Franz Smith. People will always find fault with whatever we do, no matter how warm and fuzzy whatever we do is. We may not do what is best for the whole world every time, but I think the last two hundred years has shown that our aggregate good stuff score is greater than our aggregate bad stuff score.
