Indeed. It is a global world. I find all of this amusing, because the European housing and credit markets are in largely the same condition. In fact, I beleive we're going to be getting healthier long before they do, as is evidenced by the amazing surge recently of the dollar against the Euro. If Americans are paying the price for their pride (which is not all together untrue), what are the Europeans paying the price for as they experience much of the same?
I am most certainly not an isolationist, and to call me such is rather ignorant of my views that have been clearly stated over the years on this board because I have always supported US influence in the rest of the world. I am pro NAFTA, pro Gulf War I and II, pro free trade (NAFTA being north American only I am listing this separately), pro Israel, pro NATO, Russian expansionist aims concern me....I could go on and on and on.
I make NO apologies for not being concerned about what "Gaston thinks in Paree" when they have so many bass ackwards policies there, which if I am critical of I seem to be a target of ridicule and accused of being too nationalistic....yet criticism of American problems (when a large portion of the free world is experiencing the same thing) is gospel when coming from Gaston.
No apologies whatsoever. What the rest of the world thinks is not what concerns me overall, because I think the rest of the world is more often than not screwed up in their thinking.
