the outcome of the election

[eppie]

Interesting.&nbsp; Which do you really mean: they hate our country or our leadership?&nbsp; And by leadership, is it that they resent the fact that we are, by default, the leader of the Western World, since no one else will do it?&nbsp; <==&nbsp; &nbsp; Leadership is more than talk, it requires action.&nbsp;


---they don't hate america and the fact that it is the world leader...they hate the way it has been acting the last three years. (but you knew that) The problem is that a lot of people get confused and think they hate america. Me as a critical person can hate the way america has acted the last three years but I for sure don't hate americans, america or it's position as world leader.

Ironic thought:&nbsp; "Frequently wrong, but never in doubt."&nbsp; How some folks described a pretty decent leader named Ronald Reagan.

My interaction has been different than yours, in re foreigners, and to be frank with you, if a bunch of Euro Liberals, the same sorts who supported the Red Brigade and the French Communist party during the Cold War, do not care for America, I care not.&nbsp;

---what do you want to say? The two thirds of europeans that wanted Bush to leave were no supporters of left wing terrorists. If it was just them that hated americ you would be right. The problem has been (and is) that all the normal people have problems with Bush. And that must ring a bell, we europeans are always very pro-US and you can see that in the way the US influences us.


Curious: what information, what soda straw view of the world do your colleagues use to form their positions?

Personally, were today the day we got 4 more years of Senator (President actualy) John, as in John McCain, I'd be grinning.&nbsp; As it is, I will do as always when I cast my eye on news from Washington, which is insert a nice big grain of salt between my teeth.
