"You seeemed concerned about any oil interests our President may have yet you stated you don't even drive so the price of fuel is not important to you. On a regular basis you seek out articles critical of our President with no concern as to their veracity yet live in a teeny weeny country very far away. Yes I do consider this an unhealthy fixation."

It is quite obvious that the whole world is affected by what the United States, the sole superpower of the planet does, thinks and acts on. It is therefore quite amusing when American superpatriots object to naysayers, dissidents and just plain opponents of American supremacy, on the basis of Jimbo's argument (ie what business is that of yours??). The superpatriots won't have anyone contesting or second-guessing in the slightest domestic or foreign American policy, despite both affecting us all Earthlings.

Funnily enough, those same Americans will welcome any and all expressions of support, sympathy or general pro-Americanism --- with the jest and rush of the perennial kid with its hand firmly in the jar. A guilty complex, if I ever saw one.

And that dismissal of other countries as "teeny weeny", well.. Testosterone has been guiding American foreign policy for decades now. We should not be surprised by such sentiments.

So, yes, Jimbo, yours is bigger than ours! Can you just play with it, on your own, and in your own backyard, and leave us alone, please? (Pretty please, with sugar on top.)
