My wake-up call happened in London, where some locals (even those who liked the U.S.) told me that they fear the U.S. more than any other country because we seem bent on militarism and the use of force, which they think could lead to another global war or a nuclear launch.
Amazing, coming from Europe. Funny how they didn't seem to mind our militarism when it kept the Soviets from taking over the European and Asian continents. If Europeans really think that we would be the instigators of a global and/or nuclear war, then they are much more stupid than I previously thought.
You don't have to throw the first punch to start something Dave. And FYI WW II ended almost 60 years ago, a lot has changed since then including a large portion of the population. They're worried about the here and now and not whether we(the US)have been thanked and patted of the fanny enough. You feed 'em, clothe 'em and put a roof over their heads but kids still growup and develop their own opinions ya know.
