text: why should we care what other countries think of us?  just take a close look at them, who are they to judge? i mean,a lot of those other countries are so politically unstable and their people are so unhappy with their own governments, why the hell should we give a crap what they think of ours? just take a close look at the world. we should care what other countries think about us because we use other countries resources.this isn't to say we wouldn't be fine without those resources however we don't want everyone to ebargo us... that would be detramental to our nation...furthermore, there are some countries we just really don't need on our backs or bad side. have you ever heard of a little thing called pearl harbor? or how about this lil saying??? "it's not the size of the dog in the fight,but the size of the fight in the dog." if we upset too many countries and they team up against us then what might happen? we might not seem so powerful then in comparison...
