What Will It Take For The Rest of the World to Call Bullshit on the USA?

Seriously. Is there a breaking point at all? Will the world ever stand up to us and say "Back the Fuck Off"?

It would be difficult to catalog all of the things that have been done in the name of America in the past 20 years, and especially the past 5. If any other country in the world had been the agressor that we have, there would be embargos, trade sanctions, and UN articles of warning galore.

Why the fuck is the rest of the world so afraid of confronting us? I really wish someone would for the good of us all.

The US is like the drunk driving Mayor of a small town that everyone is afraid to confront.

2. Actually, they are. There's a revolution going on.

The USA, thanks to BushCo, stands revealed as a predator nation with a bungling military that is so "high-tech" that it is powerless in the face of opposition from those that won't line up to be killed.

The other nations are ganging up with economic pressure to curtail the power of our capitalists. And, the capitalists are fleeing to other countries to try and salvage their dying empire.

Ours is an empire in decline heading for freefall and fragmentation.

4. Prior to the last "Selection"

I said, "If they steal it again, maybe someone will come and free us from the oppressors."

It may happen someday. The majority of people in this country want change. When our politicians are afraid to speak up, we have met a sad day in our country.

5. Let me amend what I said a bit....

I guess I'm really wondering when other governments will revolt against us. I know all about Hugo Chavez, and the events of the past week in Argentina.

But what I'm really wondering is when "Old Europe" and others who are traditionally our greatest allies will get up off their asses and tell us to go to rehab or face the consequences.

I don't see it happening any time soon, but at the same time I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.

8. Easier and safer to let you self-destruct than to confront you.
