I know, I'm an American, why am I asking this?
Well, I've heard both sides of the story, and I still don't see why people dislike America. I came across this topic: Click And I realized that there must be some sort of prejudice involved. In my opinion, we are doing alot already. We actually have more troups in the yugoslavian area than Iraq, and I think we lose more people there than Iraq. We have troups there to help stifle the fighting. We have troups in Iraq so that we can help them to defend themselves. We are the big brother of Isreal. And yes we've had some bad moments, such as the bikini Islands. But, you're expected to make mistakes. Look at how the European powers did hundreds of years ago. Some people blame the president for the problems, but put yourself in his shoes, to control the most powerful country in the world and try to make everyone happy. It just doesn't always work out. So, I'm wondering, why do certain people (almost entire countries) dislike America? (I'm curious about my facts, and I figured debate would be the best way to discuss diffrent sides) |

But Japan has one very important resource: money. They have enough money to pump into economic and education programs, because they don't waste^h^h^h^h^hspend it on the military.

QUOTE(mipadi @ Jul 12 2005, 11:14 PM) But Japan has one very important resource: money. They have enough money to pump into economic and education programs, because they don't waste^h^h^h^h^hspend it on the military.  Are you telling me that Japan always had the money? They don't have to spend it on military because they did something right (or better). Which goes back to what I said about the US doing something better than Cambodia...etc. Anyway, China is doing something better as well, don't you think? OHH, and by the way, MONEY is not a natural resource. Resource? Yes, it is. Natural? No. Lets try for consistency. I get confused easily.
