Yes, you can decide which actions you will take, if that's what you mean, but you should consider the consequences before you act, and we're not convinced that you have been doing that lately. Of course, you don't technically need to convince us either, but you can't expect us to trust you and support you if you don't.
quote: And I'm not worried about y'all attacking us, you can't even get it together to stop genocide in your own backyard. |
True. And various US governments have been actively aiding more than a few brutal dictatorships both in your own backyard and lots of other backyards on more than a few occasions, thus being indirectly responsible for thousands - if not millions - of deaths and disappearances...
Your point being?
quote: As for the US deciding your fate, all I can do is paraphrase OBL to refute that - there's a reason we didn't attack Sweden. Did the US decide Sweden's fate? |
No, but I was talking about Iraq...
quote: And one more thing, the reason the US keeps getting into these messes is because we are running around a dysfunctional world left behind by European colonialism. |
If we're going to argue about who's to blame for stuff that happened hundreds of years ago, we can keep going right up to the point where we end up cursing Adam and Eve for ever having children. But I don't see anything good coming out of that, so I won't be going down that road.
quote: And we became the superpower, i.e., global cop, because we led the way against the commies. |
How can there be a global cop if there is no global law?
These days you look increasingly more like a global bully.
quote: I'm sure quite a few 10's of millions are happy the US "decided" their fate. |
So am I, but that won't appease the 10's of millions are not happy.

Regarding the original poster's question;
I Croatia, the reaction, from what I have read, is mostly negative. Fahrenheit 911 and other antiamerican stuff sell pretty well here, so it's no surprise.

Sprayber, it is YOUR fault that the genocide is going on in Rwnada. It is your PERSONAL fault that oveer 500 000 Iraqis are dead, YOUR tax dollars PAID for it. It is your fault that Japan is in mental **** up state. It is your fault, that Elvis died. It is your fault, that everything that is in this world and is wrong, well it is your fault.
how does that statement sound? Silly? Of course it is silly. What? You got out of US BAshing from that? 
too bad.
Answers to questions you disagree with should never be raised again, OK fine. Hears another tear for you because I'll keep doing it. And you'd be surprised how much I defend your ass in here in real life. SO no, I'm not a euro doing the same thing back to you. So stop calling yourselves the pragmatic ones, beucase you're not.
I should be personally mad that your country hasn't done anything for my country, and anything for me, because I have done much for you. Pretty silly eh?
