Looks like the American reaction to any opposition is blow it all up!
Randy Newman wrote and recorded this song in 1972 and it appears the Bush Administration embraces it whole-heartedly. Political Science by Randy Newman, from the album Sail Away No one likes us-I don't know why We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try But all around, even our old friends put us down Let's drop the big one and see what happens We give them money-but are they grateful? No, they're spiteful and they're hateful They don't respect us-so let's surprise them We'll drop the big one and pulverize them Asia's crowded and Europe's too old Africa is far too hot And Canada's too cold And South America stole our name Let's drop the big one There'll be no one left to blame us We'll save Australia Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo We'll build an All American amusement park there They got surfin', too Boom goes London and boom Paree More room for you and more room for me And every city the whole world round Will just be another American town Oh, how peaceful it will be We'll set everybody free You'll wear a Japanese kimono And there'll be Italian shoes for me They all hate us anyhow So let's drop the big one now Let's drop the big one now Why on earth do we need anyone else when we have America?

Thirty years already (since the song appeared). Quite evidently nothing has changed at all.

Skywalker it seems you only whine about actions of the US. Perhaps you could give us all a ■■■■■■■ break and whine about something else for awhile?

And BTW, LOA! If America screws up, I sure as hell won't be sweeping it out of sight. If America get's it right I'll pat her on the back.
I've been finding very little to crow about that the Bush people have done. We are losing the War on Terrorism because everyone in the big cities of America are scared sh*tless about what might happen tomorrow. That's the name of the game...FEAR... and AL Queda is playing us like a well worn fiddle. No I will not shut up. And if you try to make me, I'll just keep on going. So save you profanity for someone who gives a rats@$$. And have a little respect for some of the other people here that have to read your garbage. Mark |

Mark[/QUOTE]LOL if you think I follow any political affiliation your sadly mistaken. I actually would have thought you had known that by now, perhaps you havent picked up on my irreverence to most subjects. I assume your not a "slow learner"? Now lets get to your whining. For as long as I can remember your constantly wailing about what the US has done. It seems to me there are many more subjects that you have failed to whine about. I'd be happy to give you some ideas- 1) whine about war in Africa, there more than enough to go around. And FAR more dead than in Afghanistan 2)whine about the so-called "communist" guerillas in Columbia that terrorize the country, kidnapping at will and selling cocaine to the entire world 3)whine about the recent altercation on the seas between North and South Korea 4)whine about the overt abuse of steroids in major league baseball 5)quit whining-its unbecoming [ 07-03-2002, 07:14 PM: Message edited by: Lord of Alcohol ]
