Ah a little bit of reason from the otherside. I will explain what i think so you can understand. So the next time this comes up with some other hothead American you will understand. When you say you hope for the US economy to suffer i start to take that personal. When you start picturing Castro Kim, Osama bin Laden as just as bad as us or better you have cross the line again with me. When you start bragging about or economic collapse and how China is going to take us over. I start getting mad. When you say we are all brainwashed and without any real data to back that up. I am left to think you have must have some sort of hatered for my country. Rather i think it is you have some issue with facts. If you say i am brainwashed and give facts i cannot contradict....then aybe i will start to see your side. This is general how people see reason. Calling someone brainwashed and talking about America thru innuedo rather then facts is going to make them upset. My country is not perfect and i do think going into Iraq was not the right way to work that. I am glad Saddam is gone but in the end it wasnt really worth it. If you think i am unthinking there is one expression that i offer you.

You say you want us to leave these military bases. I pretty much do to. It cost us a lot of money.
You say you want us to act like a normal country. That is very hard for us to do because right now South Korea's pissed off beyond belief as are the Japanese and we are there ally much the same as China is North Korea ally. We cant just abandom them. What cross words to you offer China or North Korea None. You offer only your venom for the US. Weather you know it or not many countries plead to us for help. As many as those that hate us. It diffcult for us to just tell them to take a jump in the lake. I dont hate you or really anyone really. I dont hate the N Korean or even the Cubans. I know they are trapped.
