Question

Was Henry Kissinger correct when he said "America has no friends or enemies, only interests."?

Answer 1

Sometimes our policy reflects this.Take for example Greece, we sponsored and supported a very oppressive regime in the  late 1960's all to prevent a communist threat during a democratic held election.

Answer 2

Yes and that is how other countries feel as well!

Answer 3

Nixon was President. He was great on foreign affairs. People in other countries used to like us.

Answer 4

Yes, cold hard truth.

Answer 5

it can be looked at that way

Answer 6

That is how the rest of the world looks at it. That is why I love america, because we don't. I really don't believe most of England does, too, and that's why I love them. At least some of them.

Answer 7

I have never thought of it that way

Answer 8

every other country in the world views themselves the same. Its only the Dems who worry what the world thinks.

Here is a dirty little secret, why do you think there is now an EU and the euro? Its an attempt to catch our economy! And yes they are our "friends" except for france of course but dont tell them we know or they will surrender and leave their 22% unemployment due to socialist policies on us.
