Very good point Balljoints. I think that is part of the reason there is so much emotion from non-us countries. They fight with us too and often in larger numbers then us (Bosnia..just ask the Brits and the French) and don't ever get a thank you from the people of the US. Instead they are told that it is only the US that comes to the rescue of the world.

Also (and this is not anti American so please don't read it that way..its just the truth you might not know) the United States has not paid its UN dues in years. We owe amazing amounts of money in dues. Yet tiny little countries that can hardly afford it pay their dues.

I know that the USA does a lot of the fighting but so does the UK, France, Canada and many other countries and they pay their dues. We almost lost our security council vote last year because we were under threat of some sort (I forget the exact method of the threat) action taken by the other countries on the the panel because we owe so much money.

Again, not anti-American..just something to help you understand why some of the other countries has tainted views.
