For the most part, yes. However, the other nations you list don't seem to have the negative reputation that we Americans enjoy.

Pick one or the other!
I wonder what would happen if we suddenly stopped any and all foreign aid, quit messing around with other nations' governments/politics, and simply engaged in free trade with anyone willing to trade? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Pick one or the other!


free trade = is messing around with politics. Our money is our biggest weapon. We buy stuff we don't need and tariff stuff we do.
