21. Why would they care?
Edited on Tue Aug-30-05 05:58 PM by Autumn Colors
Why the hell would the rest of the world respond to this after the way the * Admin. has treated them, their opinions, their ideas, their concerns, their problems? * has acted like no one's problems matter except the USA's.

Global warming, anyone?

I think the rest of the world is thinking: "You want to act unilaterally? You got it... rescue yourself."

Frankly, the way our country's government has disregarded the rest of the world, I wouldn't blame any country for not coming to our aid now.

That sounds very "unpatriotic", I know but I'm sure a lot people in a lot of countries are thinking to themselves that we deserve this. I don't blame them in the least.

Some will start spouting dollar figures that we give other countries in aid and to them, I say ... our aid money always seems to come with political strings attached. It's now payback time.
