I believe that a Starwar satellite does not work well. During some test, it missed to hit our dummy missiles a few times - I am not sure about this year if it is improved. I believe that any weapon technology in the world is still not perfect. Now, I don't know what to do with North Korea. What a mess! I think that NK missed the point that we are not interested to against that country. It has to do with George B because he made his own emotional saying that NK is evil. I cannot believe that NK takes it personal seriously.

I rather for us to use the alternative energy no matter what. I am so sick of Arabs and OPEC.

I don't think that's a 'given' just because the U.S. is a superpower. It is pure greed, selfishness, and evil.

Do you even realize the number of interventions the U.S. has been a part of, the cost of human life on both sides, and the absolutely fucking stupid justifications (unless you're a greedy, sociopathic imperialist) for these incidents?

excerpted from somewhere else:

"Afghanistan. 24,000 Dead. Obviously invaded for oil. Afghanistan had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11. And the decision to invade Afghanistan was made long before 9/11.

Columbia. 67,000 dead, including many human rights members and members of the leftwing movements. oppressive, militia (government) funded by the U.S.

Cuba - constant threats, plots, plans to ruin that country. The U.S government planned to kill it's own citizens in planes flying over Miami and elsewhere (including space) to blame it on Castro. Known as Operation Northwoods - all of the documents have been declassified, any one who wants to know how much their government really cares for them can read them, but as a senator said, it doesn't matter because "American's don't read".

Guatemala. 200,000 dead. Military armed, trained and funded by the U.S, and coups organised by the CIA.

El Salvador. 75,000 dead. As above: death squads armed by the U.S.

East Timor. 200,000 dead. U.S supplied the murderous Suharto regime with its weapons - against the wishes of the EU and the UN.

Haiti - supported the brutal Duvalier regimes, opposed the popular Aristide government, and overthrew him recently.

Somalia. 10,000 dead.

Nicaraguan. 13,000 dead. The U.S was condemned by the international criminal court for unprovoked terrorism (the first and only nation to be so), but simply vetoed this.

It goes on and on and on, 4 million alone were killed in Vietnam, adding up all of the death tolls since 1945 reveals a staggering amount of human life extinguished because of the power-politics of the U.S. Whether you agree with my premise or not, the simple fact is that the bullish (and that's a polite word for it) behaviour of the U.S provides a much more logical, rational reason why terrorist despise you than the nonsensical, they-just-hate-our-freedoms rot does."

Keep in mind that many over the governments that the U.S. overthrew were popular or elected, but because they were 'socialist,' meaning they wanted to help their people and not have them exploited by international corporations, they were destroyed.

Do you at least now have a glimpse of why so many millions fucking hate the U.S.?

And don't give me that "Cold War" bollocks. The U.S. was just as much a threat to freedom, liberty, and life as the Soviet Union was. Just refer to the above list. The only difference between the two nations is that domestically, Americans were better off. But concerning foreign powers, the behavior of the US and USSR both was fucking heinous, murderous, and horrible.

we have more freedom than you, we don't believe all the rubbish the media feeds us, yes we are british(well scottish)
the last 2 gulf wars we have lost almost more troops to the American trigger happy atitude than we have to the so called enemy.
the problem with you lot is you only think of yourself, your oil the money it costs etc etc, you never learn, you sat back and watched a dictor taking over the world(hitler) saying it's not our war, and at that time it wasn't, but you have no vision past your own selfish existence, had japan not pulled you into the war hitler would have took over europe, strenghtned then attcked and beat the US, now I know this seems to have no relevance but bear with me, saddam was building hatred for the US(and we backed you, we didn't wait idly like you did) after 9/11, we need to take these threats out before they become way too dangerous, ie have nuclear or chemical capabilites, no we back our allies, al queada etc. we don't sit back and say nothing to do with us....
I think the britich and american response was correct after 9/11, we cna't sit back and let them build hatred towards us, we need to snuff out future threats before they can harm us, not sit back and attack the easy option of the very people who are trying to save us in the future.
don't ever forget, it was americas dfault there was even a second gulf war, britain wnated to eliminate the republican guard when we had them trapped, your senate pulled the plug and let them escape, if they went on and took out the republican guard and saddam like the british wanted to there would have been no need for a second war, but then you got what you wanted your oil.
we didn't get what we wanted and that was justice and freedom for the iraqi people, I am an ally of the US and the rest of UK but your selfishness make it very difficult at times, if you sat back and did nothing like so many of you are suggesting then the more powerful they would inevitably get would eventually strangle the US, the sensible thing is to take out the threats before they become too strong and cost many miore innocent lives than thye are now, try looking at the bigger picture and one that doesnt just affect you.

yes Israel is an friend when it wants to be, because half the senate are/or are influenced by jewish money from within the US, why do you think the US have supported them when all the rest of the world including the UK wanted emabrgos against them for breaching international law and human rights? who vetoed it? the US, and you wonder why the Arabs hate you, you lot should look closely at your own affairs before meddling and giving half hearted opinions to the rest of the world, you are complaining now about how uncomfortable the bed is you made for yourself.

Saudi Arabia isn't worse as Iran and Afghan, when relation to USA (not human rights), even USA has army bases in Sandi Arabia, if USA isn't friendly to this country then why does USA has army bases in their country, however Sandi Arabia is more neutral than just friendly to USA. If you looking in Iran, Sudan and Afghan, they are very unfriendly to USA, that worse when compared to Saudi Arabia but... human rights are very bad in Saudi Arabia and relation to USA is just different story.

I'm stay out from majority of muslim countries, even you don't make sense if you said about complain.

Agreed. Saudi would never want to be friendship with US because Saudi wants to strict for oil business profits. Actually, Laden and Bush were oil stock investors. Somehow, they disagreed something about the stock that made Laden angry and hate Bush so badly.

Laden is smarter than Bush. He made Bush to send our troops in Iraq that made him successfully. He knew that U.S. has problems with the money system. I don't know how he do that. I think that CIA was screwed up that gave Laden billions of dollars secretly to run his war. I cannot say more about them because it was done so much damage in our country.

Don't like our country? Then leave.
