Nothing more...nothing less. Everytime I show one of you guys that the BS that you spout is just that...BS....you simply ramble off onto another topic.

The fact of the matter is, US is way way ahead in the space arena. Just look at the background of shuttle pilots and the purpose of the various shuttle and rocket missions, NASA is also very much integrated with the US military, CIA and NSA activites.

I further support limerickman's earlier comments and would further add that N Korea has never invaded another country (Korean war is a legitimate civil war just like the American civil war and China's civil wars in the last 200 years). Whereas the US and Japan had a well documented history of military interventions overseas in modern times. It's no surprise that soverign countries around the world either want to align with the US or have the deterence capabilities. Pure logical deduction.

As all facts indicate, Bush administration's international policies (or the lack of which) over the last few years has screwed US's prestige internationally and turned the populace in many friendly countries into sceptic or resenter. So try not to think that there is a conspiracy of American haters out there but rather ask what a citizen can do with the voting paper.

The U.S. can't possibly compete when so much of its budget is being directed towards keeping peace in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush may talk big but the reality is he led his country towards decline and it will take a miracle to undo the political/economic damage Bush has already done.

I have no statistical data but I would summise that Hatred of American forien policy and the name George Bush would be closly linked (at least in the western world).

Perhaps you could ask yourself why a swelling mass of the worlds population think poorly of you instead of hiding your head in the sand crying "Its all BS, your all just US Haters"

The Chinese government ,in a fait accompli told Condi when she arrived in Beijing for talks.
Condi will return to deliver lessons in diplomacy to the Bush regime as soon as she has wiped the egg from her face.
