  1. We hope you have slowly turned the corner and on the way back up to your old status

    Long way to go yet though


  2. Bad - the United states is an empire, seeking dominance and control over others for the furtherance of their own interests. The United States is not interested in democracy whatsoever - whether a country is democratic irrelevant if it doesn't support the US and US corporations.

    Good - the people of the United States are largely ignorant of this fact, and were they to be aware of to just how terrible a degree their government treats others (I trust) would be shocked and appalled at the injustice. This was demonstrated by the anti Iraq war demonstrations, some of the biggest ever. The US used to be a force for good in the world. Since 1945 this has vanished, but it is not too late to bring it back, there are many good people there.

  3. In the year of our lord 2005 the United States faces a challenge we remain reluctant to recognising in full and opportunities we fail to recognize at all. We are the greatest -and most virtuous- power in history. For now our existence is not at stake, although the lives of our citizens, the degree of our freedom and the well-being of our allies are at risk. There is no doubt that we will survive and triumph. But the decisions we make will determine the costs our enemies extract along the way. And we DO have enemies, old and new, mercilles and uncompromising, who hate us for our success, our freedom, and our power, as well as for the global transformations we inspire.

    The United States is cast in the role of a doctor during a plague. No matter how hopless the situation may seem, the crisis demands our courage and perseverence. The risks we take are the only hope for avoiding a greater disaster for humanity. Despite the errors we have made in the middle east, the vitriol spit in our direction by the regions inhabitants isn't really aboutr us, its about them. The middle east has grown so inhumane and weak that it craves a "great satan" to explain away its ineptitude. The greatest power on earth will have to do. Indeed the middle east remains the world's sick civilization. Because of our virtuous efforts, Iraq may become the Middle Easts beacon of liberty. Or it may end as another Arab pyre. The Iraqi's, not us, will determine their ultimate fate. Their choices will shape a civilizations future.

    Of course there is much more to the world than the struggling Muslim heartlands. Europe is in ther midst of an identity crisis of its own, haunted by a brutal past and insulted by Americas upstart success. The old powers are still far from forgiving us for supplanting them in the stretigic arena - or for our generosity toward them in the last century. Had we only been as cruel as europeans themselves in the wake of the twentieth century's great wars, we would be much better liked. The primary intellectual goal of Western european societies for the past half century has been to prove that the United States is as cruel and corrupt as they themselves have been. When your heritage is genocide, wars of agression, or cowardly surrender, the record of the United States can be hard to bear. The old powers cannot avoid measuring themselves against us, but the disparities they discover are so great that europes moral delinquents cannot resist comforting themselves with lies about our naivete, our purported clumsiness, our violence and our crudity ( without pausing to ask themselves how such pathetic mediocrities could have built the richest, most powerful, most desirable and exemplary society in history). Indeed when it comes to self examination, the heartlands of Europe are simply the middle east lite.

  4. You can't judge a whole country on a few people’s actions or on political policies that you don't like. That's just like judging a whole race of people on what they look like.

  5. 1 bad thing illegal immigration

    1 good thing-everything

  6. history of fair play, truth, and honor - good

    complete destruction of its history, and therefore, no future - bad

  7. Good: The US Constitution, ideals of enlightment such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, freedom and unity

    Bad: They don't much care about it

  8. My dear friend: according to Bush father there's is a new world order, that  means that the entire planet belong to Us.

  9. I really do not give a SH*IT ! we feed the world,contribute $$$ to 3rd world countries,help them in a crises and in certain areas guarantee their freedom.s***w the ones that do not appreciate the USA! Fear and respect works always!
