How do you reckon that is ?
There are few theatres of war and police action where there weren't other countries involved. Are you claiming them ALL as US ?? I'll give you Grenada
Do you realize that the U.S. gives far more in aid to other countries than any other country in the world?
WRONG.
The US has a huge deficit on it's obligations to the UN missions around the world.
Too often US "aid" comes with handcuffs - so it's money to CHina to upgrade a telephone network as long as they buy AT&T switches. So please be careful making such sweeping "goodwill" statements.
Do you realize that the U.S. accepts more immigrants than any other country in the world.
Well in raw numbers it will. It's a large land mass and a significatn infrastructure. Of course it will attract and be able to absorb higher numbers.
How does it do as a percentage of population, or available land, accomodation , GDP ?
How about some praise for the U.S., instead of making ridiculous statements like "the U.S.A. has supported terrorism in the past."
In part the same reponse is repeated becuase their is seldom contrition for those past acts. Maybe it will take a strong President to voice that and maybe it can be mroe 'open' for better relations.
Also, in an area of poor action, it will be difficult to garner praise from anyone other than a 'patriot'.
How can there be any kind of "propoganda" about terrorist attacks when we already had been hit on 9/11? Are you trying to say that terrorism is not as great a threat as the U.S. claims?
The connection between Iraq and 9/11 was made in a propganda speech worth of the Nazi machinery at it's best/worst.
"Blind patriots" wouldn't see it just as ordinary Germans didn't "see" the call to cleansing.
( Note I'm NOT comparing the acts, I'm comparing the presentation and appeal to worst fears )
