Why do so many people feel as though we "bypassed" the U.N. when in fact it was Mr. Bush who took it to them back in November? Do these people forget the UNANIMOUS UN vote on Resolution 1441 which gave us (as in U.S.) the authority to forcibly disarm Iraq, should they be found to be not in compliance?
And as far as our "Top Dog" attitude, you're damn right we are Top Dog! Someone has to be! Would you prefer it to be China? Or how about, maybe North Korea? IRAQ???? Let's put it this way. The rest of the world should be damn grateful that it IS the U.S. that is Top Dog.
Take this forum, for instance...If it wasn't for the U.S. 'inventing' the internet (No...contrary to what some people think, it wasn't Al Gore!!!

) we wouldn't be sharing our points of view. Not like this. That's my country, alright. Bringing the freedom of speech to the entire world!
Too many candy-assed other countries feel as though they can run their mouths and bad-mouth the USA and then turn right around and ask us for our help, whenever they get into trouble. The ironic thing is, THEY CAN! And the bad ol' USA is always their to bail them out! Do you really think China, N. Korea, or Iraq would put up with such a thing???
