No, I exactly know how hard European Investors were hit by the american housing debacle. Not just European Investors were hit bad by it, Investors all over the world were. But that happens, bubbles eventually burst. That's the economic cycle. But to blame it all on bad bully america is very silly (That is coming from an European). And yes the ME is a toy of the west for the last 50 years. We take their ressources. You know why? Because we can. Iran is already talking about trading oil for a basket of currencies. That won't serve them well. You can already hear the war propaganda in the U.S. media.

I don't know how there religious freedom is doing. I live in Europe. You tell me.
In terms of the economy i only can say i got higher returns in 2011, investing in corporations of the S&P 500 than in corporations of the Eurostoxx.

I have been going to churches for over thirty years, and have been called an "atheist" by the greatest of evangelicals.

It's silly to believe he's only trying. I'd say he (and the rest of the politicians on both sides) are doing a splendid job of it.

What can I say, I woke up rather cynical (in a humorous way) after enjoying a brilliant Christmas? It's probably just a rich food hangover mixed with the realization that EVERY EX-CHARGER (still playing) have made the playoffs.

So, YW

BTW, I stopped by at a Hindu temple the other day... free lunch! I guess, to many, that makes me a Hindu now.

I think it's a combination of reasons. A similar condition exists among Argentines but not as nasty. In some instances it is a problem created by the intellectual class of Europe. In some case with regard to the US it is a gut reaction to our recent loss of clout. I am sure there are many who can point out the reasons. Some reasons are justifiable and others not but the nasty snide reactions that travel back and forth across the Atlantic truly show that both sides of the Atlantic have low class people who cannot do more than offer outright insults and most are just stupid insults. Some folks will do or say anything to make themselves feel good..
