Ever think that other countries don't like to be bullied by the US? Why is it that whenever the US implements a trade embargo it forces every other country to follow suit yet no one can tell the US what to do.

Just because the US is number two now doesn't mean it's all fine and dandy. Where was the self-criticism when you were number one? If you take into consideration the size of China, the size of its population, wouldn't it be fair to say that you're still number ONE?

It surely doesn't stop you from moving your polluting factories abroad.
Come on, be honest...how many dictatorships did or does the US support? How many dictators got the support of the CIA because it benefitted national interests?
You might as well call all Germans Nazis although you'll find more Nazis in the US.
Why not just admit that you want everything your way and that you don't give a rat's ass about what other countries think.
You wanted globalization...why? Because it would benefit you but not the poor nations.
I have lived for in a Communist country for two years and will be returning on Wednesday. Never felt happier there than in any capitalist country. The thing is, none of you even have a clue what Communist countries are like, North Korea being the exception.
All I ever hear is whine, whine, whine, whenever you don't get your way.

I worked in Russia for a while, went into MB for a burger, could not believe it cost me 1/3rd of that in the UK, there was a English chap there and I said why is this, he said if MB put the cost up anymore than that people would just no eat at MB. “Power to the people”. Taike, I think I understand what you are on about, I love my country too, wouldn't live anywhere else, even though petrol is £6.00 a gallon, UK is a great Country that why half of the Europe wants to come and live here. What the hell if KB are made in China, perhaps the will work!
HNY Taike you give it to them!
