america is talking about pumping out billions in oil a year and OPEC is pissed about it because it would drop the price of oil by a ton. do you feal that the world should kiss your ass? its that same arrogance that caused thousands to get killed.
why should countries compromise? the terrorists will strike americans. its in america's interest to compromise to try and change the perception in the middle east. they won't be waving american flags anytime soon, but this situation can get much worse.

Yes, thanks for asking. Considering that I have a degree in physics I would consider myself to have at least a working knowledge of "probabilities".
You're really so worried about the US and what harm will come to it as a result of it's policies?
Look at the the topic of this thread. The topic of this thread is about the actions of your country. The actions of YOUR country are increasing the number of Americans that hate Canada.
Canada is a country I personally have NO problems with. In fact, 3/4 of my grandparents come from Canada. However, I can say as a fact that the actions of Canada are having a decidedly negative effect on American public.
Do I think the world should kiss our ass? Hell, no. You apparently think the US should turn a blind eye towards the actions of other countries belligerencies though.
People protesting in your country against our country. Politicians slamming out country and saying negative things about us. People protesting chanting anti-American slogans in your streets. American schoolchildren on a field trip being booed recently while in Canada.
Again - I reiterate. I myself have no problems with Canada or Canadians. I can tell you from the news coverage and comments I see that there is a whole lot of belligerency flowing from North to South right now. Why can you so easily see in others what you cannot see in yourself?
