   We cshould confront anti Americanism not embrace it by saying “Maybe the have a valid point”

   Why ? Because you validate the hatrid. You give cause to those that have an agenda that is opposite of yours. You give credibility to those that shouldnt be credited with any validity.

   Hitler prospered because the world leaders treated him as an equal. You cant treat someone who thinks he is superior to you as an equal because that only convinces them that you really are weaker than they are because your stupid enough to believe them.

   So, let me get this straight. Because some black guy may win the presidency, that alone will make America more popular in the world?

   Yeah, OK. That’s why everyone wants to immigrate to the US. They hate us that much.

    You know - in a past corporate life, I traveled internationally about 50% of the time. Honestly, I didn’t see all this supposed anti-Americanism. The “only” people who were anti-USA were college professors (not students) and some of those in the press (and some gov’t officials too). The rest of the people I met and worked with, at pretty much all levels of society, wished they could have the american dream. This was not only economic, it was also the freedoms, the social structure, the opportunities. Many even respected the USA for it’s willing to be “policeman” to the world. Without us, many realized their own security was in danger. We weren’t hated.

    sigh long time not see, but I felt a need to say this.

    Has anyone read the whole artical above? Whats with Obama’s color mattering? He IS NOT A BLACK MAN, he is mixed. And what does it matter anyways? Proving there is no racisim DOESN’T MEAN ELECTECING SOMEONE WHO IS A MINOTIRTY AS THEY ARE THAT.

    Hell I’m white in a apperance, but with my gentic history I would not pass as an aryan. I’m “impure” And if the arguement is to allow a minority to to run things purely as “fairness” dictates, is that not racisim its self?

    One should be judged on character not color and Obama in my eyes fails the character test, and once more if none of these nations have the military teeth to make us bow to there wishes why should we just bend over?

    Before any of those nations have a right to call the US out praticularly Japan, it should look into its closet first. After all its leading minority group is named from a derogitve term, and in any case most of said “Put a black man in charge” have minority groups that seldomely move out of signle digits.

    Whats with all that “whites this whites that” going ons? Has the KKK gotten passports? Or is it only racisits when it comes from one group? If so, what if the race’s mix? Watering down the culture, oh well. I am by apperances a white man, who is married to a woman out of my color and culture (chinese) and I am HAPPY. And we share our views and have our own culture.

    And Racisim is racisim. Pulling for a man only as he’s “black” (which he isn’t) is the same in my eyes as a white lynch mob beating up a black or mixed couple. Disgusting no matter how its cut.

    There has been a current of anti-Americanism in the world since our nation was established, a current which exists for bad reasons, which continues to this day, and which will continue whether Obama gets elected or not. Muslims are indoctrinated to hate America as an infidel superpower, an affront to their sense that Islam should reign supreme. Nothing Obama does will change that Muslim bigotry.

    Likewise, nothing will change the lies told about America. Indira Ghandi told Indian farmers that America stopped the monsoon rains one year. Pakistani madrassas teach Muslim kids that America created dinosaurs to eat Muslims. The Turks believe that America is harvesting organs from Iraqis for transplant into Americans back home. Unless Obama shuts off the global weather machine, stops the production of dinosaurs, and ends the organ trade, these foreign idjits will still hate America out of ignorance.

    I got to observe the change in the US Army in Central Europe between 1983 and 1990 when Communism fell. The forces in Europe and reinforcing units from the CONUS were totally transformed by Reagan so dramitcally that for the first time since WWII a Soviet CONVENTIONAL attack on Western Europe could have been won by us CONVENTIONALLY. The equipment, ammunition, other supplies, additional soldiers and increased training were all paid for by Reagan’s defense budgets paid for by tax cuts.

    I agree SDI was the last straw, but that was the last chess move that created checkmate. But the committment to finally winning conventionally on land, sea, and air left them with only the nuclear option. SDI was the last straw after they had an entire hay bail dropped on them.
