See what the UN has done to the US
How Somalians feel about the US, http://hotzone.yahoo.com/b//hotzone/blogs/999
Even though this was a UN action they totally blame the US for their problems. We may have been trying to help them but they don't see it that way. I'm sure many in the Balkans feel the same way.
We need to withdraw from this useless body and quit interfering with other countries.
I'm not getting a page player, it says "yahoo, sorry, couldn't find this blahblahblah"
I can't really give an opinion untill I can actually READ this essay.. But I doubt I'd go as far as KidRock to say the world is stupid, nor that America is not an important part in keeping the world safe and secure..
I can't get the link to work for some reason. It's a group of Somalians who blame the US for the deaths of their family members durint the supposedly UN intervention in their country a decade ago. It's all too typical of how much of the world feels about the US, especially since the Iraq invasion. Personally if people are going to hate us I'd prefer it be because of what we have done alone, not what we have done in the name of the world.

But then I can see why KidRock is upset. Despite him not directly saying it because he knows not how too, he's pissed off because the world asks us for money and favours CONSTANTLY but doesn't want us to ever interfere. If we're going to provide for you, then we're going to set some ground rules. If you want us to treat you like a child, then you're going to be so. The minute your precious United Nations decides to stop sucking on the teet of the United States funds, the sooner they'll end policing the world..
Also I don't like how all this preassure is on Bush over Iraq when as you stated, this is beef from 10 years ago. Ten years ago Bill Clinton (a democrat) was president.. So then this isn't a conservative thing, it's an American thing. And I think the world is just as much to blame for our goverment playing judge, jury, and executioner just as much the as American goverment itself..

I sucked at that game. I preferred the police version "True Crime streets of L.A." but that game wasn't too well for me either. Though I did alot better then my republican cousin.
Adam was constantly complained over, he was dubbed a loose cannon who couldn't be trusted, so he didn't have to do alot of missions, and the missions he did have were ussualy very dangerous, if I didn't know any better I'd say they were hoping he died when he went on these mafia beatdowns..
I was just considered incompetant. My car always got stolen, about the only thing I was good at was searching people, and come hell to high water before I take on anyone with an gatling gun.. so they gave me "baby" missions like bringing down a prostitution ring and fist-fighting with a bunch of crackwhores and a limping pimp..

This is true to some extent but the US takes the "ground rules" thing too far sometimes. A few months ago the US offered Brazil money (Brazil didn't ask) to help fight AIDS....with the condition: Brazil outlaw prostitution, which is legal there. Brazil told the US to F.UCK OFF. Good for Brazil.
As an American I can certainly feel the disenchantment over how the world always wants our money but will turn on us in a second. On the other hand I can see how people in other nations can feel resentment when we come across with the "our way or the highway" attitude. Personally I'm all for isolationism. We need to withdraw from all international bodies, not just the UN. When countries have a problem it's their problem, not ours.

IMO Iraq was all the US idea so they should be blamed for that whole mess. Plus the US has no resources for itself really. It needs the world as much as the world needs it.

However you lack much oil to sustain such a large econemy. Yes there is some in the gulf but without imports it would be gone very fast.
But then how would the fatcats get thier meow mix..
