South American countries than Bush... I'm sorry to say, but he's viewed as a dumb cowboy down here,

A dumb cowboy for his internal and external policies not the war on Iraq, someone has to do something, if we don't no one will. the UN won't do anything eventhough the inspectors are back.

The whole world owes us everything

Perhaps the UN would have more authority if certain nations didn’t ignore any ruling that it didn’t like. Perhaps the UN could do more if certain countries provided the funding that their supposed to. Perhaps if certain Americans actually got a map out they’d see that England is just 1 part of the UK. The Celtic nations have always had a disproportionate share of suffering. Perhaps if America fought fewer campaigns fewer brits/Canadians would get killed. Perhaps if the US military was less gung ho the locals in certain parts of the world may be a little more hospitable. Nothing against US forces just the bull their filled with prior to deployment.

As Ive said before be careful who you call a terrorist cause 1 mans terrorist is another freedom fighter. And just because you’re the biggest guy on the block doesn’t make everything you decide correct.

You know I think you're right. The U.S. should say screw the rest of the world. If someone overruns another country, not our problem. We should just look out for ourselves and our interest and kick the butt of anyone who threatens us.

If you did stay at home it would certainly reduce the cases of fratracide.

This whole subject is very delicate, and the Iraq matter is getting worse by the day. I'm sorry to say, though, that by what we've benn seeing on the news, it just seems Bush wants to take over Iraq's oil fields... He had some point untill Saddam accepted the inspectors. Now he's still promoting war even thought all his previous requests were accepted by Iraq. Don't you think it's a bit strange?

But how much are Iraq actually agreeing?

He's not letting inspectors into any of his presidential palaces which are bigger than any of his factories.

He's probably got all his arms producing factories hidden under school. Where he won't let the inspectors in.

This guy tested chemical weapons on his own people. Wouldn't let inspectors in since '98. Yet you people will believe what this madman says over your own president? Somebody has their priorities hosed up.

But just as soon as he uses one of these weapons of mass destruction on someone, then everyone will say "Why didn't the U.S. do something to prevent it.

Just think if someone would have stopped Hitler in the early stages. How many more people would have lived.

Oh well, let's just wait for the next attack to get all patriotic and wave the flag. Who knows maybe next time it will be someone you know and love.

Well by that view, you could say that america may be trying to make up for taking so long to get involved in WWII?

I do happen to agree with you though, i think something does have to be done about Iraq.

NO! I apologized for my "patriotic chest thumping" as someone called it before. But I'm getting tired of people putting down the U.S. We are not the bad guys.

People get on here and criticize the U.S., but let someone come to her defense and all of a sudden we shouldn't speak.

As long as other people are allowed to speak against the U.S., the folks who want to stand up for her should have their say.

So don't tell me to stop.

Love and Kisses,

Maybe we are. We should learn from the past and not make the same mistakes.

I'm not putting America down, it's this 'you would be speaking german if it weren't for us' attitude that annoys.

Yes, I'm grateful for the help america provided, but there were many other countries which had been fighting for the allied cause from the very start of WWII.

And, as far as I'm aware, Britain is right behind America with any action on Iraq.

Exactly. There's nobody putting the US down. Someone asked for other countries opinions, and we're giving them. I'm sorry if the Brazilian opinion annoys you, or if you don't agree with it, but we happen to be suffering with all this. Now that the war against Iraq is becoming a war for oil, we're seeing dolar rates going throught the roof ang gas prices going up. Sure, the US did help with the war, and is the biggest world power out there and all that, but if you guys can't accept other countries opinions and analize your own situation with a critical eye, I guess we should just drop this discussion.

And one other thing. I think it's funny how acellis says we'd all be speaking German if it wasn't for the US (like you guys fought alone), but you don't seem to remember that the US itself funded and trained the Afghans on the war with the Russinas; or how you decide to "interfere" on some trouble going on in Vietnam (and we all know how that ended); or how about the problem in Colombia?

So all I'm saying is you should look at both sides of the matter. Sure, "chest-thumping" is good, and everybody should be proud of their countries, but I THINK putting other people down is just wrong...

Maybe you should go back and read happy snapper's post. Also calling our president a "dumb cowboy" is not any different than putting down the people who elected him.

No we didn't fight alone and we should've intervened sooner. That's what I'm saying now with Irag. Also Brazil wouldn't be speaking german because we would've protected our back door.

but you don't seem to remember that the US itself funded and trained the Afghans on the war with the Russinas;

Russia was our enemy at the time what would you do?

I did look at both sides. Iraq is a threat, just ask Kuwait or all the people in his own country who he tested weapons on.

I also don't believe I've put other people down. (I'm sure someone will come up with a quote) But you folks who are living close to the madman need to take heed and stop thinking he won't do anything. I don't want to take that chance personally.

OK..so now the wars about oil instead of Iraq beinging a threat to the world's civilization as we know it. We are the only country out there that ever does anything and you don't see the UN doing anything. So by bashing another country you mean...China being a nothing country and Russia being stuck in time.
