| And Americans wonder why everyone hates them. You Americans wonder why most of the world hates you. Here's your answer. Of course, the current Australian government is as much to blame for kowtowing, but government ministers come and go, where as the enmity of the people lasts a long time.
So sit back, be smug, and come forward with the old 'whatcha gonna do about it, we're America!' line. Then one day you'll wake up, and discover that what the rest of the world did about it was form a massive network of alliances with China, which will by that stage have the world's biggest economy and biggest military.
That is when America will reap the reward for all of the ill will that it has generated. Even America's closest allies (Britain, Australia) can't stand it anymore. With friends like Americans, who needs enemies. |
