If it wasn't for little ole' Scotland the world would be very different.

The one thing you've said today with which I can totally agree! Where would we be without Adam Smith, Hume, Mill, Watt, Hutcheson?

You are a living, breathing example of European arrogance. Little wonder most Americans consider Europe irrelevant.

Ah, but thats the point did anyone in North Korea even try? You don't get freedom because you want it.

As my tag line says Freedom isn't free. Someone pays a price. That price is certainly treasure and frequently blood. If you are unwilling to try then you deserve the chains you wear.

"...Their own Government doesn't care, there is no "market" to sell to. Most of the countries are in wars, there is corruption, there are no resources etc.

Why don't these people do what Americans did in 1776?

1. Overthrow their oppressors.
2.Get off their collective asses.
3.Use their own initiative to solve their problems.
4. Quit begging and do something for themselves.

As my dear grandmother used to say, "Wish in one hand and spit in the other and see which comes up first!".

Oh sure, I'll pay his taxes, if that commie frog will come to my house to collect them. Before you volunteer to do that Jacque old boy, read the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of these here United States. Hint, hint, I'm armed to the teeth, you cheese eating, surrender monkey summitch. These socialists think that if they make some off the wall rule for us that we have to obey. The idiot dictators of the world have tried before to impose their will on the United States of America. It bought them a 6X3X6 ft hole in the ground, and that's what it'll get old Jacque and his blue helmet buddies in the UN.

Taxation without representation was one of the bedrock causes of the American revolution. If somehow the Senate and President sign up for some treaty allowing this, I forsee serious civil problems in the U.S. .

Most of african countries got huge natural resources in their ground.Did you hear something about french colonialism
? Don't you know that FRANCE is still exploiting resources in CONGO(oil) IVORY COAST....?
If you try to understand you can!You have only to try!

It's easy to understand that CHIRAC is playing a game giving
from times to times smoky ideas .I think he knows exactly what he is doing AND THAT he doesn't believe that he tells.
But he is only a wrong man trying to divide Europe from USA

And just how much money is China kicking into this plan? My guess = 0. Tax yourself and keep the UN's hands out of my pocket.

Tax for AIDS,tax for hunger,tax for leprosy,tax for chicken flu,tax for tsunami,tax...
CHIRAC THE "WELL SPEAKING" MAN but bad doing...
There is the mayor part of EUROPE government which want to keep good relations with USA.
I think the challenge for USA is to isolate FRANCE since there will be a big change in french society

"Socialist idiot......handouts won't fix this problem. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime..."

How do you teach a man to fish without the funds to send the teacher to teach him?
