mstep... I didn´t say USA is so bad. It´s great for many things (a lot of things). For example you have the best Army in the world. What a pity, because you don´t know how to use it. But you have a very very good Army with great technology.
The problem is that there isn´t anybody in all your country long enought clever to manage it, so you can invade pour countries (to try to find one person, call him Osama, for example) for nothing, just to generate more hate, and to justify the astronomic budget that it has. Knowing everybody that you must use intelligent tactics to find him.
(Well, that is just an example of the general opinion here in Europe).
You have a lot of great things. But this is not the board to debate them. In other boards we can talk about actual Cuba, about Mexico, about your health services, about rich and pour people in USA, about your contamination or Kyoto, or about what you would like to talk.
But not here, please. This is not the place.
