The Americans begin to say sorry, but....

is sufficient for the Americans to just say sorry, or should they have to pay some form of reparations for the crimes the US Government has committed?

US Secretary of State stated yesterday:

“There is a great exhalation of breath going on around the world,” she said. “We’ve got a lot of damage to repair.”


What do you think?

About the same time they apologize for RBD.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

Sorry for what crimes! I want to see all the middle east countries apoligize for creating so much hate towards the US. Just because this administration wants to close Gitmo does not mean that terrorist are going to be nice to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I say FUCK 'EM! a year ago, the president of IRAN was telling the world the USD was so worthless it wasn't good for wiping your ass... Like I said, FUCK 'EM!!"

Ditto. I think Vladdie, like the good socialist that he is, just wants another handout.

I would say a good idea (especially considering our current financial dire straits and trillion dollar defeicts) cut out ALL foreign aid and take care of the US Economy and its citizens first. Like maybe fully funding our VA Hospitals that care for our Vets. Bush/Cheney--send them to the Hague for War Trials on crimes against Humanity, they deserve nothing less,,,,

Whether you like it or not the Obama regime is in fact using a very conciliatory tone.

My question is, will it be enough to "repair the damage" that the Sec of State referred to ?

a bit of an aside......we as americans can get our economy moving at 'fast forward. by just buying american made products. i don't care how good or how cheap asian products are. it's our jobs and our factories and our families that are important.

we're presently sending half a trillion dollars to china annually. what the fuck is wrong with us. why do we need to put those folks to work? so what we need to pay a little more. right now, you're/we're losing ten times what we save by the devaluation of our properties and interest on the debt of monies we've borrowed.

if we all, you me your families and neighbors get the lead outta our asses and seriously start buying american, the jobs will re-appear, factorieswill re open and the american economy will once again be on a roll. and wal mart can once again be what it claimed for so long to be...only made in america. now, that quote, is one of the worlds big lies.

we have to get serious about this. we've been sending our GDP abroad for so long that we've broke the bank, closed our factories and lost our jobs,dignity and homes. i ask you...ain't it worth paying a little more, saving face, paying our billswithout handouts, keeping our homes, providing for our own health care and so much more?

we're in a world of hurt, and the republicans and democrats and the new president will not be able to do shit if we don't stop sending our money abrroad. period.

thanks, robi....my family was farmers, eaten up by 'agribusiness' who take all subsidies that the govt gives out and then they eat up the family farms and spit em out. the disenfranchised americans.

the smallest tract down in the south end of the san juaquin valley, where i grew up, is now about 35,000 acres. that ain't no family farm. and these businesses get millions of dollars in subsidies.....many of these conglomerates are owned by folks who've never felt dirt between their toes. the live in manhatten and haven't a clue where milk comes from, nor what cow, chicken, hog and horse shit smells like. pity.

BUY AMERICAN FRIENDS...PUT YOUR NEIGHBORS BACK TO WORK...WHO GIVES A FLYIN FUCK IF THE CHINESE ARE OUT OF WORK? it's me and my neighbors that are losing everything we and our forefathers worked for. live with out a beemer or a toyota, wear clothes that were made by american hands, nurse your children (don't give them that melamine milk from china), every cent you invest in america is guaranteed to boost this economy the old fashioned way...the hard work way, the american way. write/call your congressmen/women and tell them to spend some of that bail out money promoting buying american. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO RESTART'/JUMPSTART AMERICA. pouring in all this money that's borrowed from the chinese is only burying us deeper. WAKE UP AMERICA, BUY AMERICAN.

thanks robi, i appreciate your thoughts. i got a twelve guage shotgun and a fourwheel drive, haulmarks of america. if the hate mongers, terrorist ragheads and lazy ass beggars want a fight, bring it on. we fought for our freedom...which they have no idea about...and we ain't gonna give it up to these terrorist despots and demagogues. amen.

i can't rally around that vote, brother, but i do say we need a very serious rethink of who our friends really are and if they deserve the time of day. central europe, who's memory must be real short, is now kissing russia/putin's ass and sucking up to him. say what?

one thing george w said that i really believe....if you ain't with us in this fight, you're against us. there's no gray area here.

raymundo is very funny ; I suppose he is a leftist who wants to make people believe he is a rightist.

Or perhaps he is a not very intelligent rightist (pleonasm ?).

No mas Tasco66 !
