Yawn.
If they answer that they do not, say, "You're welcome."
Now imagine a world without (any other country) in it.
Bigotry in any form discredits the one who practices it.
The United States of America elected Bill Clinton to be its president. Twice.
Does that mean that people who dislike Chinese imperialism should denounce the United States?
America's allies in Europe are besieged by a combination of coordinated disinformation and willful ignorance.
But there are many good people in Europe.
Should we abandon them because some of their neighbors are idiots?
If so, then we should abandon America as well.
Pithy sayings not withstanding, it is best to keep one's friends close.
We have a lot of friends in Europe -- people who aren't fooled by cheesy propaganda.
I say to them: thanks for standing by us, and I pray we will never do anything but the same.
Every time the US exercises its supreme military, political or economic might the loser socialist countries of Europe will go nuts because it shows how weak and irrelevant they are and that they absolutely cannot do anything about it but to talk and hate.
"...substantial minority...small group" EU propaganda against the USA! Friends, don't let friends sell that lie to you. Don't let the EU rats play "good Euro, bad Euro" with your minds! There's a better piece than the following, BTW, that tells us that about as many Brits hate us all for re-electing our President. ...will see if I can find that one.
Most Indians say 'thumbs up' to second Bush term

"Among those nations with the most negative views were some of America's closest allies: Germany (77 percent), Britain (64 percent), and France (75 percent)." . . . "India was one of only two countries where a majority of participants (65 percent) said they felt better about Americans after the reelection of Bush. The other country was the Philippines, at 78 percent."
{{Many resent the way in which his political life is heavily influenced by his Christian faith.}}
That's OK many of us Americans resent the way that radical Islam and European hatred is influenced by their faith (Islam).
Most of Europe, even France and Germany is not anti-American.
But they violently anti-single-superpover.
And here is the conflict comes. If the superpower keep telling them who they should do business with, then the balance wil tip against the superpower however big sentiments they have for the American way of life, the movies, songs Coca-Cola and so on....
This is more about dignity than politics.
Then there is a fear factor too...
Logically, what would stop the US doing whatever it wants regardless who is its ally, or friends?
So that's why the europeans prefer a multipolar world.
Not a suprise, the chair did not even cooled out after Condi Rice left Brussels, the EU signalled that they are ready to lift the arms embargo on China...
