<It is not hard to determine who wishes the United States to succeed in rebuilding Iraq along lines that will promote consensual government, personal freedom, and economic vitality: Hardly anyone. At least, few other than the Iraqi and American people> Michael, I'd say most people [who have an opinion] hope that the USA can succeed. A lot of people doubt that they can succeed and wish they'd never tried, but they might still wish for success. That statement is too paranoid. The world isn't against the USA, they just don't want to be bullied by them. The Christian view of the world is that humans are universal creatures, not that Americans are put on earth to rule all. The USA, being nominally Christian, with a general cultural acceptance of that idea, should get it firmly in their heads that we are all in it together. We the Sheeple are not against the USA. We are for our own freedom for self-determination. We think it is best established via a NUN [new United Nations] rather than by King George II edict. Me speaking for We since they aren't here just now. Mqurice
