Who cares what the world thinks!The world needs a leader and, whether they like it or not it's America.No need for diplomacy it just lowers us to the worlds level.I say America needs to do what is best for America and do it in a big.By our nature what is good for the U.S.is good for the rest of the world.

No need for diplomacy it just lowers us to the worlds level.

So you think that we are above the world! This stupid redneck thinking is in a direct contradiction to what Bush ran for president on; "American foreign policies should never be used arogantly. We should use our world power status with humility"

It depends on what the world decides to do about it, being on the wrong end of a large trade embargo would really suck, inspiring more nutjobs to take down our buildings would suck even more. The world certainly needs a leader, but you don't become that leader by pissing everyone else off. America does need to do what's best for America, and getting into two shooting wars on opposite sides of the planet at the same time probably isn't on that list, getting into wars that can be avoided (and I'm not talking massive appeasal here, intelligent avoidance) is NEVER on the list.
