" they cannot control their populations because people will choose what we have over what they have - given the choice. " ????If they cannot control their populations why are they so able to control their populations?? Why don't their leaders choose what we have? I'll give my view....because it is inherent in their values which are instilled in any human being by the age of 10 (according to psychologists). It always makes me cringe everytime an American says that we are the greatest at everything in the world and we are the world's greatest and best place to live, etc etc. Reminds me of friends and relatives we all have who seem to always have the brightest kids, the best cars, the nicest house, always buy the best computer, camera, wrist watch, refrigerator, pick the best stocks etc etc. I think you know who I'm talking about and none of us have a particular fondness for this type of person. I don't think it's difficult to translate this to the international scene and have any trouble understanding why so many foreigners don't like us.
