K, I'm with you.

Let's start a war over something as insignificant as how low one should bow to another. This makes perfect sense.

Continue.

And then you wonder why the rest of the world sees you (Americans) as bullies...

As an American I agree. I see bowing as no different than sending someone a gift. Saying encouraging words. Shaking someone's hand. Patting someone on the back. I would much rather see someone bowing to someone than hearing:

"If your not with us, you're with the terrorists." -baby Bush

When those leaders come to America they will have much greater respect working with each other...they will probably feel like they are part of the solution.

We are not bullies. We have done moref or the rest of the world then anyone has ever done for us. American Presidents don't bow. It is disgraceful to our nation. I don't expect any other world leader to bow to our President either.

The way I see it, if it wasn't for us the rest of the world would be speaking Russian or GermaJapanese, and if you all don't quit bitching and whining about these wars before that pussy President of our pulls out then you will all be living under Sharia Law in about 20 years.

Just the fact that you aren't already, should be enough for you to stop and thank Bush and Cheney and the American military for having a pair.

If it is one step forward to bow to the Japanese emperor then I say we start running backwars. The Japanese emperor was the motivator behind Pearl Harbor and WW2.

They way I see it, it was the Emperor's ancestor who got his countries ass royally kicked in a war and if anybody should be bowing, the emperor should be bowing to the President of the US and still begging for forgiveness for Pearl Harbor.

So bloody what?

If you really want to argue details, we Aussies saved our own asses so quite frankly your claim falls flat on it's face right there without me having to go into the numerous other countries who also fought and died alongside us and you Americans. You act as if you were the only ones fighting and dying - what a load of ignorant diatribe.

Go learn your history mate, not just what you read on the signboard at the local supermarket.

You know the thing I find most amazing? Is that the rest of world really thinks the average American even gives a flying frog what they think about us. As Cartman would say.. "Screw you guys, and screw you guys!"
