China has no right to be "hurt" over the Dalai Lama's visit. Those murderous heathens should not be mentioned in the same breath.

If you see my widgets it means you got a "10" :O)

So, we have Turkey, Russia, China, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela on our bad side. If those countries all joined forces, we'd be in MAJOR trouble.

Russia, China, Iraq and North Korea have never "liked us" any how.. tolerated but not liked. And Turkey? They come and go.

The United States has no business doing business with China. Why are we supprting a terrorist nation? For cheap products .. most of which we can do without anyhow except for our own lust to own everything in sight .. cheaply.

Hee hee, Dan, that is one of the problems "we" suffer from in our foreign policy. Who are we to tell another country what it has "NO RIGHT" to feel a certain way?

Matt, I see the same questions and to me it tells me those who are in charge have little or no concern for the feelings nor security of the citizens of this country. They function from a position of personal superior power which has little to do with the actual security of our country.

China has no right to cry about President Bush meeting with a holy man. They have no right to infringe on OUR rights. This is the exact same thng they did to Tibet before they invaded it.

in fact,, they did the same song and dance with the Dalai Lama before they determined he was too hard to crack and therefore have been trying to kill him.. or discredit him .. ever since.

The real irony is we are fueling China's progress .. and hence driving up our own costs for stuff like building materials and FUEL. An enslaved nation advancing on the back of a free nation. Total irony.

And who the hell cares what North Korea thinks? Their national pastime is parading out their dysfunctional military doing the Nazi-strut. :O/

If Ron Paul has his way he would pull all of our troops from around the world back home. Makes since if you're seeking another World War.

John Edwards' big plan is to get everyone in our embassy in Iraq killed. He wants to pull our troops from Iraq and "leave a small lightly armed force to protect our embassy." LOL LOL LOL .. HELLOOOOO DUMBASS.

Whew....seems we are always shooting ourselves in the foot. With the National Debt so high and us owing money to so many other countries, we have to play nice. We are helping to fuel China's growth and I don't see anything changing in the new future. We should be more diplomatic in the Middle East and try to truly understand their culture so we can better negotiate with them. I feel we ruined Russia with lies of a new weapon system and we helped Russian Crime Gangs to flourish, and where has that gotten us? We are a powerful country run by people who never look at the larger picture, that makes us idiots.

The BIGGEST threat the United States faces in the world today isn't with none of these mutts .. it's with our own belief that the world really wants to love us.

It's hard, if not impossible to "negotiate" with people sworn to destroy your country over the ideals of some MOON GOD. And if Hillary ever made it back to the White House you can completely forget that fogheaded notion.

I have never seen any interview with Osama bin Laden wherein he has said he is open to negotiation with anyone. And unless these Presidents-wanna-be who are sprouting this crap want to comb the mountains of Afghanistan-Pakinstan in search of this cave jockey THEY DON'T STAND A CHANCE IN HELL FOR NEGOTIATION. Negotiation is a Made In America idea that they just don't like the sound of.

"We have met the enemy and he is us." Pogo (Walt Kelly) and the root of our ignorance is found in the COMFORT FOOD we seek. We crave to be "loved" and looked up to. And we are only kidding ourselves to believe that if only we can sit and break bread with these half-wits that all will be "OK" again.

Ol Crusted Up Binny Laden is right in saying Americans don't have the stomach for a long struggle. If we can't have it today we don't want to wait for it until tomorrow. It's the "McDonald Mentality".

We did the right thing by going into Iraq. We're doing the wrong thing by holding back.

"Last year, the deficit hit $248 billion. Sounds like a lot, but in a $13.6 trillion economy, it's not. It's equivalent of a $900 dollar creditcard charge for someone with a $50,000 income." Beyond the Bias. Investor's Business Daily, June 8, 2007

"As a share of GDP, the budget deficit last year was 1.9%. That's down from 3.6% in 2004 and below the long-term average of 2.5%. This year, says the CBO, the deficit will be about $177 billion, or 1.3% of GDP. If current trends continue, the deficit will be earased by 2010-2012 at the latest." Beyond the Bias.

Wow- I wrote this little piece after scanning my yahoo homepage. I didn't realize it could generate this much discussion. Thanks to everyone who chirped in with their comments.

Oh,, I think the Democratic Congress knew exactly what they were doing. They wanted to tick Turkey off, they know that Turkey lets the US get its supplies to our military through them. If the Dems dont get their way about early withdrawal from Iraq, they will sabotage this war and the Bush administration in anyway they can. Why, would you bring up something that happened about 100 years ago?
