especially after i saw this:
"The United States was always the last resort for hope for all other nations. There was the hope, that whenever something was going wrong, one could count on the United States. Today we lost that hope."
-- Lech Walesa in illinios interview (via Beck)
with that statement, for the first time, i was heart sick... for the world.
I had the same response as you did, sten.
It made me feel sick, in the same way I did when the RUSSIAN leadership scolded the USA recently for leaning too socialist.
Hard to believe. The worst thing is...I had to agree with them.
