Thanks. A little notice. When you are talking about "reaching the stars" I hope you are not referring to space exploration. After some 25 years without sending a manned mission on the moon, a dozen or more nations have reached space capabilties. I don't give you a link in particulary, just visit space.com, you will find plenty of news about non-US space missions. But that's not the point. The point is that when you scream about restoring justice around the world, you just aim at Iraqi oil (a lot of freepeers say that simply and plainly.). I know and you know that Saddam is a threat only for his own people, like tens of other dictators around the world are, in Africa for example. But Iraq has a lot of oil. Talk of highly idealistic goals and aim at small potatoes. I agree that spending public money conquering oil rich foreign countries is more lucrative than building hospitals,public schools and giving pensions. (But...where's the far more advanced American technology? Still relying on petroleum? What about alternative energy sources? Oh, I understand. When you colonize Mars you will do it moving on Chevy Trucks.).And what about mobile telecommunications infrastructures? At least two years behind that of Japan and Europe. Your credibility around the world his hovering at historical low levels (like the Nasd.),at least in two fields:moral/culture and finance/economics. Forgive me if I can't take you much seriously.

Ummm... The US gets more oil from Africa than the Middle East. In fact, the US hardly gets any oil from the Middle East, and very little from outside the Western Hemisphere for that matter. You should at least have a solid grasp of the facts before you start throwing accusations around so freely.

And what about mobile telecommunications infrastructures? At least two years behind that of Japan and Europe.

I don't suppose this has anything to do with why Europe is now dumping their much vaunted GSM technology for the vastly superior (and thoroughly American) CDMA technology? The Europeans were so proud of their GSM networks that they really hated admitting that CDMA was better, right up until the point where their GSM networks started to breakdown. Now all the European wireless phone companies are licensing CDMA technology from the American companies. Japan is in the same boat, incidentally.

You must be a glutton for punishment, asserting Euro-chauvinistic mantras without actually checking the facts.

Please tell me in what ways the European finance/economics is superior to that of the Americans? Europe is a second-rate economy in virtually every aspect compared to the US, and the gap gets larger every day. Apparently you don't follow financial and economic data, because only a fool would actually believe that Europe has shown any type of superior performance in this regard.
