This double standard of the United States having it their own way, and everyone else having it the U.S.'s way, is why no-one extends an open hand to the bully of the world, when mother nature trips him temporarily to the ground.
Fine screw it I don't feel deal with everyone complaining and thinking we are the bully. I say we do not give out anything ever again, close down our borders for good and go completely self sufficient with no trade. Lets see how everyone likes it then. We can MAYBE keep trade for Mexico and Canada but only because of their proximity. People say that we are the bully and want us out of all their affairs OK. Later. By the way how is that McDonalds UK or the Wal-Mart France? How are you treating all of our Manufacturers China? Kiss them goodbye because if U.S. companies can't trade to the US (Sounds dumb) then there is no point for them to be over there since the U.S is the largest importer of goods from China. Kiss your economy goodbye China. How are Japan and Latin America liking baseball? Good? Well get out cause we don't want other countries in our affairs. In fact everyone that is not a natural born citizen get out. I don't want any other countries influence on us. The American dream is for Americans only.
I am not serious with this but I sure am sick of people saying US is such a bully and pushing themselves on everyone else. Influence is good from other countries. Diversity is good. It is what makes democracies great. We are not over in these countries trying to be a big bad bully or trying to take over the world. That is just stupid. It is an ignorant thought. Did any one think that there could be a master Conspiracy with the U.S. government and that maybe they do believe what they are doing is for the improving lives of all Man-kind. Anyone ever think of it that way? Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Every plan will have a wrench thrown into it. It is the way life goes. And I believe in what our government is trying to do with countries like Iraq. There are times were I am like WTF…but that is how life goes. It is my opinion that in the end we will all see that hey, maybe that crazy old George Bush was right.
Finally, It would be nice to be thanked or considered for some relief help. We probably wouldn’t accept it but we would be appreciative. If France were just to say “Hey U.S. that was a pretty wicked storm. Can we help you out with some food, money or manpower.” Or if Russia were like "Hey we hear that the pumps in New Orleans are running out of Diesel Fuel. We have some extra. Do you want it?" It is the thought that counts. And we always remember that.
