It is sad to say it, but what affects the USA, effects every other country. Should the election winner be Kerry instead, soldiers from many countries would slowly start going home; not in body bags, as would the civilians in media, aid and other areas. Simple fact is, a town or area where a foreign soldier with a gun is "in control", makes locals uneasy no matter what the location.

Let's look at polution. With other country's moving towards greenhouse emission reductions (slowly, but progress none the less) the United States does not wish to care or implement this. The man who owns Shell Oil even said it himself, that he is worried about the state of this planet.

From my perspective I feel that a lot of things that people outside of america in foreign policy and in law is government not by the elected government, rather the corporations who through whatever means control's the government. Why else would the DMCA and "Kyoto Lite" be creations of government? Tightening copyright laws doesnt benefit the government or its peoples, rather companies who profit from Intellectual Property. Failing to reduce greenhouse emissions does not benefit government, rather the petrochemical and industries feel they would loose money should they have to "slow down the conveyer belt", so to speak.

>>3 I dont mind Sling's post. If it was "OMG BUSH IS A FAGGOTT AND AMERICASNZ SUCK COCSK!!!", that would be another matter. I found his post to be witty at least.
