Exactly what's wrong with the yanks today.

You represent less than 5% of the world's population and your share is
shrinking. You are in debt to your eyeballs and the subsidy of US debt by
countries like China and India is considered the "greatest foreign aid program
in history" (The Economist, Sept 16, 2006). You refuse to honour trade deals
and international law. Your reputation is everything and in this world and you
don't give a damn about it.

Your loss. I hope your kids and grandkids will forgive you.
