>>>As for solving the World's problems which all seem to be caused by the USA, how about we pull our military completely out of EVERY country, station our troops around our own shores, borders and airspace, cut off ALL foreign aid, cut the State Dept by about 90%, and let every one else (countries) fend for themselves. Think that would stop the radicals from hating us? Not a chance in hell! They hated us before Bush; you could not negotiate with them before Bush; and the status will be the same after Bush. Time to find a different whipping-boy.

>Does the deal include removing US companies and/or its interest as well? If so, be careful, many would jump and take the deal. ;)

Nope. US companies and/or their interests would still be free to setup shop wherever they wanted. Just don't come crying to "me" if a country "nationalizes" your business. My point is getting goverment the hell out of our lives as much as possible. Let's looks at something on a very small and local scale - smoking in restaurants. NO gov't should have the right to tell a private business owner how they have to deal with smoking in their establishment. If he or she decides to allow smoking, then the "public" has the right to NOT go in there. If this impacts the business negatively, then the owner has the right to prohibit smoking. If you do not like a particular TV show, YOU have the right to change the channel or turn of the TV. Just don't whine to the FCC regarding your lack of self-control or discipline.
