Seems we're havin' a bit of a stall goin' after Iran, thanx in large part to our damn generals and military folk in the Pentagon:

Fuck 'em. Why they won't listen to our beloved leader's hand chosen few civilians like Rummy who KNOW how to conduct a war from start to finish is beyond me.

But some of those generals, SOME of them anyway at least have their juices flowin' when they read crap like this about another supposed "ally":

quote:

People in Britain view the United States as a vulgar, crime-ridden society obsessed with money and led by an incompetent president whose Iraq policy is failing, according to a newspaper poll. ....* 77 percent of respondents disagreed with the statement that the US is "a beacon of hope for the world". * 12 percent of Britons trust them to act wisely on the global stage. This is half the number who had faith in the Vietnam-scarred White House of 1975. * 83 percent of those questioned said that the United States doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks. (Surprised it's not higher. Who actually thinks Bush cares?) * 70 percent of Britons like Americans a lot or a little. (Phew, there's hope for the future.) * 1% consider Bush a "great leader" against 77 percent who deemed him a "pretty poor" or "terrible" leader. * 1 per cent of those who took a view said President George W Bush hypocritically championed democracy as a cover for the pursuit of American self-interests. * In answer to other questions, a majority of the Britons questions described Americans as uncaring, divided by class, awash in violent crime, vulgar, preoccupied with money, ignorant of the outside world, racially divided, uncultured and in the most overwhelming result (90 percent of respondents) dominated by big business. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/2006070...DJlYmhvBHNlYwM-

INVADE, GOD DAMNIT! Invade those ******s NOW! Take the fight to them, I say! REVENGE, I say! Those ******s tried to impose all those damn taxes, tried to enforce themselves upon us, brought war upon our free and INDEPENDENT nation. How many lives did we lose back then? They didn't respect our sovereignty! Their King didn't respect any rights, freedoms and liberties of ours!

Down with the KING!

Very true.

In fairness, Britons themselves are often loathed in other countries for their boorish, crude, and uncivilized behavior. In Greece, Holland, or the Czech Republic, the locals roll their eyes at the antics of "British lads" who go there for "stag parties" or on vacation to get piss-drunk. British tourists are officially the worst, according to the countries that host them.

Also if you've watched the British version of "Big Brother" -- it's not exactly a "culture fest" either.

When it's the bad stuff this tendancy to call the British the English suddenly drops. I don't like it. You yanks are inconsistant! Thats what you are!

We've got this administration to thank for our bad rep abroad (Europe in particular). Latin America and the Middle East never really thought to highly of us in the first place; they've had plently of experience with our benevolence and generosity.

I thought the Russians had them beat there? I believe the Russian tourists are rated as the worse and than the British.
