well, its been an eye-opener for me reading your views on this,,
Yes, even from here (uk) the us is reguarded as big brother, and we in turn will follow suite, more finacial ping pong, and the fear of not being able to complete the mission unless my big brother's behind me attitude. Im sure we give any power a run for there money when it comes to compassion, i understand what your saying about it being a downfall too, just take a look here in britain to see an almost uprising to imagration, restless corners of society feeling the pinch and not understanding its transformation to weapons instead of aid, and so we leave it to the powers that be and hope yet again the us can make the initial move towards unifying finacial interests.
