Ukraine does not have as much power in world politics as the USA. [/QUOTE]Would I be right in saying that NO country has as much power in world politics as the USA?

Is that any reason not to discuss the political situation in any other country?
[/QUOTE]The fact that there is a good reason to discuss a topic does not mean people will actually go about and discuss it.

On top of that, upper level management never really is interested in what happens in the lower regions of its office. The people thinking that Bush actually takes note of things our prime minister (Jan Peter Balkenende) says in meetings with him should definitely have a reality check. It's more formality than anything else.
On the other hand we are a bunch of simpletons in the end. We honour Holland's most low-life family as war heroes and actually buy a horrible Christmas song they make.
