Agreed. If it came to a choice between a strong alliance with the US or a strong alliance with Europe I'd choose the US any day. Many European countries have shown they have no backbone in fighting international terrorism.

I can tell you first hand that Ali74 is not american. He is british. He has also admitted to using the name slater071 on youtube. Other names he goes by are GSdudeUK and Guiseppe107. Im sure he has a billion other aliases. the guy has serious mental problems just look at the Ali74 homepage. You are wasting your time using commonsense on this fool. He is trolling you plain and simple.

Obama doesn't know how much this country really needs Britain... In my opinion we're nothing without them and when he said that France is our best ally I scoffed. Even though some may disagree, I still think this "special relationship" exists.

@keirfree I find this comment ironic and rather honest. What happened to you in two years you get dumber?

OBAMA has destroyed this great friendship.

Sarah Palin has neither brains, nor strength. We don't need anyone like that anywhere near the already unstable and pathetic government.

[LovelyLakeFlower]

@TheWitchdoctr Yeah, I mean there is no comparison when you compare her to someone like Maggie Thatcher, despite the fact I disagreed with a lot of Maggie's policys, I do recognise that Maggie was someone willing to stand up and do whatever it took to protect her people, even if it meant making hard decisions, and Sarah Palin doesn't have that ability.

[TheWitchdoctr]

@LovelyLakeFlower Everyone knows Palin is a disgrace to women everywhere. I'm not sexist, but I think I speak for everyone when I say this bitch can't hold office. America will lose... oh wait, America has nothing else to lose, dignity and intelligence wise.

[LovelyLakeFlower]

@TheWitchdoctr haha, Yes Palin would be a bad idea, definetly wouldn't want her next to the nuclear codes, the world would be gone by Monday.

[TheWitchdoctr]

@LovelyLakeFlower Obama doesn't hate you... I think. He's not our best president, but it's either him or Sarah Palin.... *shivers.* I'd rather have him than Palin. Or better, Anarchy. You know how much easier it'd be if the entire world dissolved back into anarchy? Everything would be so much easier. How simple everything would be. Less chance of humongous mistakes.
