Worldwide anti US sentiment...

Say the US attacks, Iraq folds like the napkin they are, say the conflict is now over.

What happens with the anti US sentiment that has spread throughout the world....How many more bitter arabs will develop new grudges against the United States...

I heard some Arab guy earlier today on CNN, one who represents some Arab group at the UN, and boy was he pissed..... I was just thinking if this is how pissed a diplomat is, how pissed will fanatics be if the US attacks?

Somehow, I just don't think that kicking Iraq's all will do much to solve the problem, instead it can simply derive in giving more and more excuses to those that already hate.

 

Valid points Slim, unfortunately only time will tell.

Another problem of equal consideration is that the "War on Terror" is likely to suffer massive setbacks as a key component of this "war" was a global effort & sharing of intelligence - certainly the ties that brought us together are being broken VERY quickly.

In other words...don't catch the killer because you might piss off his friends?

 

[delrio]

Yup, sad but true...
Not good.

Who cares what they think, arabs are stupid and weak, just look at what Osama has wrought - US troops in afgan. and Iraq, his terrorists on the run everywhere, the Israelies have never been stronger, of course they dont like us, do mice like cats, do seals like killer whales.

Well they like us in afghanistan they will like us in irag, and then they will like us in iran.
The thing that you anti american saddam and assama lovers don't understand is that in 5 years Assama bin layen will have done more for freedom and democracy in the mid east than he ever thought..He tried to kick out western culture, now his people will embrace it.

PATRIOTS IN ACTION. UNDER COVER OF IMPENDING BUSH WAR REPUBLICANS SLASH THE MOST BASIC GOVERNMENT SERVICES FOR YEARS TO COME "In a sorry effort to protect President Bush's tax-cut mania, the Republican leaders of Congress have unveiled proposals for slashing the most basic government programs for years to come. With rationalizations running from tragic to ludicrous, House budgeters envision cuts of $470 billion in "waste, fraud and abuse" in Medicare, Medicaid, education, child care and other vital programs, from transportation to health care, the environment to science research. The regressive 10-year plan, matched by an equally hypocritical Senate version, is a triumph of ideological rant over budget reality. Government now must be drastically crimped to pay for the rolling deficits resulting from Mr. Bush's triumphalist rewards for upper-bracket Americans."

READ THE FXCKIN CONSTITUTION!!!
There is no such thing as basic goverment programs!!! The goverment owes you nothing!!!!The only thing the goverment is to provide from taxation is national defense and infrastructure....I am glad I am sick of paying 50% of my pay to the goverment for every fxckin welfare slut and basterd factories.

Go to france germany or cuba or some other communist country if you want the goverment to pay for you.

The only part of my tax bill I don't begrudge is for the military.

"The only part of my tax bill I don't begrudge is for the military."

It is hard to believe that the American people have become so harsh and cold even to their own! I just hope that this attitude is from a minority of people in the USA.

Imagine people feeling good about killing innocent children!!! I thought I was shameless!!!

 

>I thought I was shameless!!!

You are...

How many innocent children have Saddam killed in the past 20 yrs? Please dont change this subject, just try and answer.

Schill, in 1962 the tax rate in this country was about 5%, now its about 40%. Thanks to the democrats and all their failed social programs.

If you feel so compelled to give your money away, go ahead, I hate giving money that I earned away at gunpoint..I hate violence against my wallet.

 

[ShamelessSchill]

I think that it is your "CONSERVATIVE" republicans who are not conservative after all!!! selfishness, greed, waste and fraud and this admin is the best at those things!

 

[PatPatriot]

waste and fraud is a democrat thing...if you want to share cuba loves to share..come to think of it all these countries that like to share are the poorest in the world...go figure.

No your correct the republicans are full of waste and fraud themselves since they lean to far to the left.

 

[KennyB]

Patriot my friend, you have hit it.

Government entitlements are destroying this country. I have been bashed as being a follower of Bush. I have already explained that Bush was the lesser of evils, imagine Gore as president.

I am against the BIG government. I am basically libertarian although the official party is probably anti-war.

World sentiment; after we dethrone the dictator watch how many countries come back kissing our ass.

 

[PatPatriot]

Kenny, yeah I have libertarian leanings, I have voted libertarian in the past.
What people don't realize is that there is no such thing as goverment money..It is taxpayer money...The thing that kills me is that people will say that the tax cuts go to the richest..no it goes back to the ones who paid taxes, the ones who create jobs, by putting it back into the economy.
A rising tide lifts all boats big and small.

 

[jwunderdog]

Your right all these other countries may pull all of the financial aid they give us!!Just give me a minute and I will list all the countries that give us financial AID.......Ok after sitting here for an hour I just can't think of one, please posters help me.
