Exactly. None of them are speaking Russian or German right now. None of them have to worry about having Chinese or Islamic nukes pointed at them right now.

Actually, it seems they are getting what they want. They have no known enemies and don't have to defend themselves. Like I said, that's killer. They win going away.

So they wanted us to invade Iraq? Really?

Then they must be very very happy right now. So why are they complaining about us so much? Is it the liberal media that is simply misrepresenting them?

If we can get our way just by pretending to be their (*)(*)(*)(*)(*), I am ok with that.

The UK paid for cruise, even though it was under US operation, so the fact is the UK paid for the US forward line of defence.

The French have an independent nuclear capability.

The US is not the only nuclear country.

Why should any of them speak German or Russian, I wonder? Aren't you tired to wear a mask of World's Superprotector yet?

Interesting you should mention that...with a little investigation (as all state affairs and current economic standing is public record) it would reveal some very profound facts. basically about 8 states carry the entire usa.

for example, Alabama's GDP = 120 billion....Iran's = 890 billion

Mississipi, Arkansas, Teneesee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Missouri, etc. are all less than developing nations. I always find it amusing that people in these regions boast about their country's economic might...its ironic.

Russian is widely spoken...German is the most spoken language in Europe and a main requirement for Business majors that want a piece of the big game.

I feel many Americans views of ww2 should be called WW2 revisionism: as the british, americans and canadians (in that order) took on about 25% of the Wehrmacht during their invasion of europe campaign, whilst the russians faced the majority and entered berlin and took it...germans surrendered to the russians. if it werent for the soviets, we would be speaking german.
