You are not sure, but you refuse to give the most generous nation in the history of the world the benefit of the doubt. Sounds about right.Dilbert_X wrote:

1. Great, you gave them the money in return for goods, hard luck.
2. 'Right to live free' in a country stolen from someone else, somewhat like defending the rights of car thieves to continue driving their stolen cars - they stole them fair and square - why should they give them back?
3. If you have your own oil, fine, otherwise you need to continue buying it.
4. Get on with it then.

Please do so, your acknowledgement of your continued need for aid from someone, even China is good enough for me.AussieReaper wrote:

We have iron ore and coal, which they want by the shipload.you have nothing they want. sucks to be you.

Number 3, I think there are plenty of reasons why the world, not just the US, should stop using Oil. Personally I think it would be great once the Middle East and Oil no longer matters. Oh it'll definitely happen, it's just a matter of how soon and whether it happens because we made the decision to stop being such Oil hogs, or whether it happens because it just runs outlowing wrote:

I can't wait until that black shit is gone, I just hope I'm alive to see the day when Oil is gone, mainly just in the Middle East. The look on their faces would be priceless.

Probably for the same reason that you, and people like you, who hate the current government still accept all of the handouts, concessions, welfare and tax benefits that you can get your hands on.lowing wrote:
any chance that if our image is so terrible that the world will stop taking our foreign aid? Why do I doubt it.CameronPoe wrote:
DB - America has a problem. The Muslim world has a long had very legitimate grievances with respect to US and general western involvement in their region. He is recognising that and putting his hand up. Hate him for the overspend but not the very much overdue apology and constructive attitude towards international affairs. PR is 9/10 of the battle. Of course the US could continue being antagonistic and non-constructive with these nations upon whose oil resources so much is dictated globally and see where that gets them.DBBrinson1 wrote:
You and me both Brother. I'm so sick of the 'apologist attitude'. I really am dissappointed with America. I hold the media largely responsible.
The logical analysis goes like this:
1) Does the US have a poor image in the middle east? Yes.
2) Does the US have interests in the middle east? Yes.
3) Is there a chance that these actions might have a positive effect? Yes, maybe.
4) Does it cost the US anything to attempt to improve their image in the region through dialogue and embrace? No.
5) Has the status quo antagonism and poorly planned strongman attitude yielded results in terms of the US image in this pivotal region? Certainly not. And not just in the middle east but everywhere else too.
Pride can be a very ugly and counter-productive thing. The fact that lowing can't comprehend that the US has a very real image problem pretty much everywhere outside the US (assuming this from his inverted commas on the word image) shows how insular and oblivious he is. He's basically a poster boy for America's poor image globally. Stubborn, proud, ignorant and unconstructive. Of course I know for a fact he doesn't care about the image of the US outside of the US so him posting this article, which pertains to the US image globally, seems rather odd in that context.
Eh? Throw money at them? The problems aren't rooted in discrimination up here. They are mired in the economic viability of the communities in which the aboriginies choose to live in. Meh, anyway.usmarine wrote:

Just to clarify, Americas 'image' isn't just seen by the middle east. lol
