If America isn't the policeman of the world, then how come every time somebody dials 911, it rings over here?

Absolutely outstanding!

Give that man a medal!

That one little sentence says what I've been trying to say for a long time, but I've been using a lot more words.

The rest of the world calls us greedy capitalistic war-mongering bastards, except when something like this happens.

Then they simply love us, but only as long as the dollars keeps coming.

I have news for you OldSmaj....they don't love you even when the dollars are rolling in.

Do you remember when Germany's Schroeder was running for election and he turned his campaign into a full-blown anti-American rant?

About that time Germany had a horrible flood. This German guy had the *alls to come on tv and slam America for not sending them money. I couldn't believe my ears. They were calling Bush every name under the sun, yet thought we would should still send them money. Unbelievable.

"Then they simply love us, but only as long as the dollars keeps coming."

Your observation is long obsolete. Now, they hate us whether the dollars are coming or not.
