As an Aussie, I feel qualified to make a statement here. Now, I'm not racist against US Americans; I love me some US citizens! To be completely honest, actually, I think pretty much everyone in Australia thinks the actual *people* of the US are okay.
What actually pisses us off about the USA is that the government is so...arrogant! You've got all these guns, you spend billions of dollars on your military every year, and so you've got swagger. President Bush seemed like a right old moron; that made your government seem like a bunch of morons. Your wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, all seem like failures. Your government's justification for these wars - "A war on terror/Communism" - seems like a load of crap and paints your country as the world's policeman. Yet you can't win your wars...hm.
Your government is spending billions on the military and neglecting healthcare and education to mainta

Well, we are certainly far from perfect, but I'm not gonna live anywhere else in the world.
Ask the people of Kuwait, are they glad we stopped Hussein from crushing them?
Ask the people from Libya, are they glad we stopped them from being slaughtered by their own leader?
No one else wants to step up and be "The Worlds Polceman" It would actually be nice to not have our soldiers being killed for others freedom, on foreign soil.
Bash us all you want. Bash our wackjobs....seems I remember someone named Hitler who was another wackjob that we helped stop. Yeah, maybe we shoulda just let him continue to take over the whole continent of Europe.
Take a visit to Arlington National Cemetery and you will not only see the sacrifices we have made for the "freedom of the world", you will be humbled.
God bless the USA
EC. With this statment, You have a right to slap your face.
Qoute:
Yeah, maybe we shoulda just let him, Hitler, continue to take over the whole continent of Europe.
I do agree that EC has a good point. Living in USA is much better than else where.

The Libyan rebels are victims of propaganda as are the rest of this dense world populace. That man wasn't killing his civilians anymore than any other western nation.
The Libyan People had not at all to fear from an 80 year old dictator. The rebels did. And still do.
It amazes me how easy it is for the media to implant in so many minds that the Libyan rebellion spurred on by the United States is anything like what happened in Egypt. It is sickening.
EC, protesting civilians, and people who think rather than leave a country they are unhappy in and instead start a civil war for control of a country can never be one in the same.
If you think so, see if any protest turned 'down with the government'... and 'hell no we won't go' doesn't turn into a massacre here.
There are profound differences between rallying for change, and rallying for control. What we are doing in Libya, like Iraq, i

I agree with Psycho Honey.
That's a fairly common response EC...Personaly, I want to stay and fight for what should be. If you don't wanna hear it, don't seek it out, or heed your own option and start packing.
It may be the best place to pretend atm, We want better. Happy tools can go back in the drawer.
