Hi Kev ... I suggest that you read the Tue, 11 Sep 2001 17:27:06 -0300 post from Gabriel Caffese for a little insight into how a large percentage of the world views the US and it actions. Ever since the Monroe Doctrine the US has acted as though we have the god given right to dictate how the rest of the world conducts its business. Many have the right to dislike the US, and many others have the right to hate the US. I fear that we are turning into the "school yard bully" of the world! Before anybody flames me for being un-American: I was reading the Sunday Comics on December 7th when the music was interrupted to tell us about Pearl Harbor, and the next day I saw my father leave for the recruiting station. I proudly wore a uniform from early 1952 to late 1972 (that includes Korea and Viet Nam). But, I now have 12 and 13 year old sons and am ashamed of the country that we are leaving for them. On one hand we want to control the world like the Waffen SS, and on the other we want to be touchy feely and soft to the core. I'm glad that I won't be able to read the 22nd century history books describing modern day America. -Nick T.
