Yorick, I Clearly wrote Influeneces are influences, and acknowledged there are influences, what part of that is the same or equates to American influence was nonexistent? Show me where I cited that!!! You can't do it!! You can show me and anybody else reading this piss'n contest where I wrote
I as a citizen of the USA have no "say" in other countries. "Say" and influenece are not the same thing one is open and final the other is presuasion(sp?)One is acctually puting the mark on the piece of paper, or what ever, the other is trying to get those that put the mark on the piece of paper to mark it the way you want. NOT THE SAME THING

(T.L.)Iraq.... well, I won't go into that except to say we all want the hell out of there at the end of the day. The last thing we want is a lasting US presence there. In fact, if they do become free people, chances are that in the long run they'll end up clamoring into the EU along with Turkey.
