11. And you would be wrong
Edited on Tue Jun-16-09 08:15 AM by lunatica
Believe it or not people in the rest of the world don't hold their breath watching every move we make. As a matter of fact they mostly don't care because they have lives. They love their countries with as much fervor as Americans love their country.

And if they were emulating us they wouldn't be out in the streets after an obviously stolen election the way we weren't.

I know because I spent the first 25 years of my life in another country. The US is held more in contempt that anything else, because it's been arrogant, conceited and rude to other countries during most of its history.

When people rise against their government it's always because they've endured oppression from those governments for many years, and even many generations. People don't put their lives on the line to emulate the US or any other country.
