Hawkmoon the US has created far more enemies then it has understood

So why are so many people still trying to come to this country, legally and illegally??

And who is it that we're "p*ssing off"?? The young people of those countries who desperately want economic and social progress, or the "old guard" who wish to preserve their established dictatorial power??

Most of us in Iraq had a general mindset with regard to dealing with the Iraqi people.. And I think that it translates very well to the rest of the world..

"No better Friend.. No worse Enemy..."

There are very few countries that have suffered economic and social regresssion from adopting similiar economic and social values that the US represents.

..too many special forces and espionage related agencies employed for the monied power brokers..absolutely nothing democratic about it..and the new generation are left to pick up the pieces from the 'BLOWBACK'.

Arnold.. our intelligence services are nothing in comparison to the ruthlessness of those of many of our adversaries. They never have to worry about their media or legislature criticizing their intelligence programs.

Their covert operations are seldom uncovered and exposed internally, and internationally, should they be exposed, they are generally IGNORED with a flippant "no surprise", or EVEN WORSE, "The Israelis or Americans were responsible" (like many claiming that the Bush administration was behind 9/11).

Arnold.. go off the beaten path, my friend.. Move to a place like Somalia, or Central Asia, or maybe even Bolivia or the dark and dangerous streets of Sao Paulo...

And if I remember correctly, you're living as an Ex-Pat in Mexico.. So the next time one of your Mexican friends suggests that he doesn't like the US, maybe you can have them explain 10% of Mexico's population is living in the US (ILLEGALLY)..
