"The World deserves nothing from the USA" - Well if the US wants to act as the World's Policeman it's logical to expect justice and fair-play isn't it?
How old is McCain? The baton is being passed backwards not forward. Doesn't the US want to move forward? If it does then it needs a Democrat President, preferably Obama, thats just my opinion, of someone who cares about the US and its people, and who is tired of the incompetence of the Bush administration.

What is justice and fair play exactly? By your statement one would assume you are stating that we, as a nation, are the oppisite. Exactly how do we not use justice and fair play? Which nation gives more support and aid to the world than us? Which nation does the UN come to first to solve problems when they can't, or won't, deal with it? We do not wish to "act" as the worlds police, but unfortunately we are the strongest nation on the planet. That comes with a lot of responsibility, some good and some bad. We have to make decisions that affect the planet, but have to make sure our interests are covered first. If that seems unfair, or unjust, then thats just too bad. There are too many that want to apologize for our success. Well, I am not one of them nor are a majority of the people of this nation. It is not our responsibility to redistribute our good fortune to the world.
What makes you think the USA is not moving forward? Exactly how have we moved backwards? Did I wake up this morning and forget to wind my watch ahead to Europe or something?
It really does not matter what party our President is associated with, it matters what THEIR character and personal agenda is. The Dems have controlled the purse strings for quite awhile now. If they truly did not want this war, or truly believed it is unjust, all they had to do was refuse to give the money for it. They will stand up and yell from the tallest steps in Washington about how horrible it is, how horrible Bush is for doing this, how unjust it is........but they still allow for the money to be spent. Why is that? Why is it your opinion that only a Democrat cares about the country? Exactly what incompetence has Bush shown other than getting involved with a war you feel is unjust? Is it incompetence, or is it merely decisions you and others just disagree with? Just how is BO going to get the world to "like" us? Will it entail us having to pay more money to other countries? Will it entail us having to go with decisions that put us at risk? Why would, or should, we care what France, Germany, Russia and other countries "think"? Maybe you missed it but those governments were involved with Saddam and the "oil for food" scam. Might be why they were against any actions to begin with, you think? Why haven't they, with all their military and world political clout, done anything about Darfur, North Korea and other nations? Russia kills it's own people to keep the countries within it from becoming independant. France gets sued by it's people because they expect the government to garuntee jobs and money for them. Spain's elections were controlled by terrorists........So, why do you think it is imprtant that they all like us? They can't find their way out of a paper bag without a map...........so how are they going to tell us how to do anything?
Tell you what, next time elections come up in your country be sure and pick the person who is the youngest, has only studied in college how to be political, has the least amount of any experience but talks real nice. Those seem to be what you, in your opinion, makes for a good president.
