Re: OT (or is it?): American Imperialism
Not semantically true, but I think it is true that that is what many people hear.

Re: OT (or is it?): American Imperialism
I know... but in the US it is far, far more evident than in any ohter country. I agree that Bosnia was a black eye for Europe, but I think Iraq was a black eye for the US.
However, IMO Afghanistan was a feather in the US's cap. We've never heard any important news from there in over a year. For as far as I know, Afghanistan is now a peaceful, free country. But to say there is an "Axis of Evil"... is a very big black eye for the US.
(So... someone else here read Catch-22?)

Islamic terrorism is as such because Islamic terrorists use Islam as "justification" to launch vicious attacks on other muslims and people of the book such as Christians and Jews who are all deemed "infidels" through their "true and clear" view of Islam.
Even Moslems themselves refer Al-Zarqawi and others as islamic terrorists - are they then discriminating against their own religion?

Re: OT (or is it?): American Imperialism
How soon all the Europeans forget that they always call on "The Good Old USA" when they need something dirty done.
Why didn't the EU take care of the genocide that happened in Bosnia before the US got involved?
Now I'm not saying I agree with the current administration's actions (Bush WASN'T my choice) but don't lump all of America in one box and mark it EEEVIL!
There are power hungry leaders in every country on Earth.

The Yuan, but it is artificially manipulated vis-a-vis the Dollar to keep trade more favorable for China.
