What do you think about USA? your impressions?

[Shazzam]

I think that if you really analyze the situation you will find that the people who don't like USA dislike it because of the US Constitution. Even the Liberal Left here, is trying to change it! The Right To Keep and Bear Arms and the Individuals duty to look after himself instead of asking the government for help are all in the Constitution. The fact that the USA is in Iraq is only an excuse to hate America and I think you all know this.
There was no such outcry when Clinton attacked Serbians and there was even less of an excuse to bomb them than Iraq. Iraq was in constant violation of the UN resolutions and deserved a good bombing.

No fellow forumers, this is all about politics!

You could go back even further though Danyet. For example the US wasn't too popular with Britian during the last world war. The UK repeatedly asked the US for help in their fight against the NAZI's. The US didn't get involved until after Pearl Harbour was bombed. If they had stepped in earlier the war probably would have taken a totally different turn early in the peace.

Do you think the reason why the US stayed out of this was because they were making so much money selling weapons?

We all know that for many years they were supplying weapons to the IRA in Ireland.

[Danyet]

Well as far as supplying arms to the IRA goes I think that was American individuals with an Irish background that were doing that.

And yes, USA did wait too long to get into WWII and American Businessmen were making money selling weapons. But from what I have heard most Americans did not think about or associate themselves with Europe. For this reason they were "isolationists" and didn't think WWII was any of their business. President Roosevelt had to talk the country into helping their British cousins across the Atlantic to fight against facsism.

The ironic thing about it all is that now that the US has stepped up to the plate to confront Extreme Islamic Fascism and thugs like Saddam Hussein, the rest of the world baulks at aligning themselves with her. The roles have reversed.

The difference here is that the rest of the world 'did step up to the plate.' When asked most nations get behind the US as required. I hope if there is ever anymore world conflict USA will remember the countries that have 'gone to bat' for them.

I wouldn't call sending a few "token" troops and then bad mouthing the USA in the press about every little thing that goes wrong or every bit of dirt they can dig up, stepping up to the plate.

If you are referring to the contribution my country made; keep in mind the size of our armed forces.

Nuh huh! The U.S. Constitution is the best thing about America. This is one thing I believe and expect each American individual to value it, for it's been living up with its own self as a treasure of America.

Sorry Masa, but I think Bush don´t belive in God. Bush use God, use the Bible. He belive in himself.
Example: Tell me in which part of the Bible profets said that a president or a man of power should conquer another with the only objetive of get money seeling guns, to get oil, to get power, etc.
Bush use the name of God to invade Irak and the war was a big promotion to his reelection. His father do the same in the first war in Irak.
What is the beliving at Japan? Buda? I have read about different religions and I can tell you that I think that God is the same, all versions of God are similar. In fact the las book I read was about Jesuschriste when he was a child and a teenager.
Christians know about Jesus since he was born to his childness, but what happen after Joseph find Jesus in the temple talking with the hollymen? There are too many years in wich nobody knows nothing about him. Jesus returned to the public life when he is an adult.
In that book the autor refer that Jesus go to countries like India and lear a lot about that culture, include said that Jesus belive in the reincarnation, but the power of the caltholic religion modify that part of the New Testament because it was inconvenient for them.

Hi there... you're totally right.. I AGREE WITH U!!!! What a great answer.. congatulations!

Lenny, all the Constitutions are excellent because they are "proyects of life" for every country, but it is different the spirit of the Constitution than the way in which the Constitution is used for a government or for a president.

What's your point?

[Elba]

My point is let you know my point of view about your statement that the Constitution of USA is the best thing that country has. And I´m agree. USA is the only country (from what I know) that has a law for every case. If you hir your feet in the street because the block is in bad condition you could go to the tribunals and ask for justice.
But it is different that the Constitution give you rights, than the use that people on the government do of the laws. I mean that sometimes the terms of the Constitution are manipulated in a opossite direction to the benefits for the citizens.
And that happen in all the countries, include USA
Only that dear.
