I guess the French and Germans did raise some noise but they seem to be toeing the line in Afghanistan where the U.S (and allies) are fighting "terrorists" who used to be freedom fighters when they were up against the Soviet Union. Are you confused..I am :) Ned S – the sad part is that few major western nations have really stood up to the U.S. and asked why dropping napalm all over Vietnam was good but Iraq owning a few outdated missile launchers was bad.

Nip China and India in the bud - Don't let them get to be serious contenders for the crown - Not like the US was back at the time last century that lots of European powers were feeling flushed with success and real ready to sort out those other buggers that were getting too big for their boots - To their mutual and eventual self minimization.

WWI and II weren’t good for the old powers. The US emerged big winners. If they are smart they should be trying to figure out how the CIA can convince China and India to go at it hammer and tongs perhaps? (And even drag in the Russkies somehow maybe???) And sell guns to any silly buggers [and their allies] that fall for the bait.
