Food for Thought, or maybe not

Why is there no other country in the wold that has as many enemies as America does?

I think that's not a factual statement.

Arab countries that support terrorism, like Iraq, Syria, Libya, Saudi Arabia and some non-Arab countries, notably Israel probably have far more enemies.

Because of the media/press here being very open and high profile, it all gets reported.

In the Arab countries, where even internet sites are censored/blocked, nothing gets out so it just seems like the US has more enemies.

I agree with Shahani. Maybe the US has more visible enemies in some ways, but not more in total than the Arabic countries, or even some of the African States, IMO

What did you base your statement on, Club: guesswork? Facts to support it would be good, if you can find any.,

Maybe a better way to phrase the question might be, "Why does it seem that everybody is down on America, anyways? I mean, WHOA!"

Shahani's reply would STILL fit, too. It's because America leads the world. We are a loud country, and we are the giant economy size butt-kickers of all time. We have credit card limits that go higher than their pissant metric numbers can calculate, and...

Ahem. Anyway, the rest of the world takes notice. And if they can't BE us, well then, at least they can annoy us!

Should be:

and we are the giant economy size cigarette-butt kickers of all time

.

IMO, of course.

Gentlemen, Gentlemen, lets stick to the topic lest we all get reported to the Mods.

However, if we look at the topic from a different perspective, America has more friends, real friends, and allies than any other country.

That, also, is food for thought.

sorry, couldn't help myself. The two threads were too close.

Because we are right and other people are wrong and they hate to be wrong.
