How the US is viewed

[The Ghost of Bondo]

Bondo, the truth is that France is the only real opposition toa  U.S. backed invasion of Iraq. If you look at all of the countires you just named, none of them are willing to shoot themselves int he foot and strain their relations with the United States.

Only France?...so all the talk about Germany not supporting the war and having the US shut down its bases there is just my imagination.  France, Germany, and Russia as I had mentioned, and China whom I didn't mention have all voiced concerns about US acting outside of the UN.

As for your "whole world" in opposition, last time I checked, most of the world supported us in our actions.

I've not seen one country that a majority of the public supports war without UN approval (not even the US judging by the poll in the latest issue of Time).  The US is the only one I've seen above 20% support of an attack outside UN mandate.  Sorry, but I made it clear that I was talking about public opinion of nearly the whole world and it is shown to be the case.  I never said the leadership of the countries.

its funny how the us always starts acting like the world police as soon as the can gain something out of it, may it be oil, new pipelines or whatever. i mean, bush & co earn bucks with every bomb they drop, his whole family has its money in weapon manufacturers.

in many other conflicts the us didnt give a shit, i suppose those countrys didnt have any oil to offer...

usa fightin iraq has nothin to do with balls, unless u think goliath had balls fighting vs david. the usa should watch their foreign politics and basically shut the fuck up and act like any other country of the western world, participate in the un and wait till the un made decisions.

usa is not the chosen country, and its not standing for the good people in the world. bush and his predecessors have killed much more civilians than bin laden and all terror networks combined. the rambos amongst u should read some michael moore and get peaceful. war cannot be the answer...

besides, fighting wars has been a constant factor in the american economy, their wealth is to a certain extend based on war...

and i believe bush uses war to make people forget what shitty politics he is doing in the country. he is just trying to put peoples focus on iraq.

and, america elected bush and deserves such a retard as a president, u can see in this forum alone that his brainwash seems to work on many people...

u little army boys, go to school, read books, watch discovery channel, do anything -  but dont stay deaf and blind. for the sake of world peace!
