The first sign of losing a debate is stooping to senseless and childish name-calling.
Proud of yourself?

padisha emperor said:A strong EURO is not good for the exportations, but good for the importations (on the european side) : if the product cost 10 EUROS >> USA will buy it 13 dollars, no 10 dollars.. too expensive >> USA will buy to sombody other.
But for the european importations, if the product cost 13 dollars, Europe will buy it 10 EUROS, not 13. So, cheaper for us.
And fot some products, who only Europe or some other countris build, like the High-tech products, USA can not buy them everywhere >> they have to buy it to the EURO countries, for some of these products.
If the dollar will continue its fall, it would be bad for it.
Some countries, who befor only buy in dollar, are opening their economy to the EURO because the dollar is no more able to be good - at this time -
So, a weak dollar is not so good for USA, if this weakness it too strong.
Who are the big Muslim players? What single nation is the "Muslim" nation that speaks for all Muslims?Mariner said:You won't find me defending Kofi or the way the oil for food program was run--a complete scandal.
As far as the dollar, I just posted a piece by the dean of the Yale School of Management published today, and agreeing with what I wrote above, on a different thread.
When you guys disagree with me, you immediately slip into name-calling. Not classy. Yes, a few Muslim nations were ok with the invasion. I never said they weren't. The big Muslim players were missing, however, just as nearly all the big players on the world stage refused to join the "coalition of the willing." Globally speaking, this is a very unpopular war.

Mariner said:the more moderate Muslim nations, which might have given us greater legitimacy: Indonesia, Egypt, and Jordan. Pro-American sentiment in Indonesia fell from 76% to 16% following our invasion. That's the opposite of the effect we'd like our actions to have. The more support we have in the Muslim world, the better chance we have of reducing terrorism at its source, which is disaffected, angry Muslims. Saudi Arabia's "support" is a bit of a joke--they obstructed our 9/11 investigation. Real support would have meant opening the books on the bin Laden family's support of Osama, bringing them all in for questioning about his whereabouts and network, and doing the police work on the ground to identify the Wahhabi extremists from whom the 9/11 hijackers were drawn, in both Saudi Arabia and Yemen (the part of Saudi Arabia they came from was once part of Yemen, until the Saudi's annexed it--that's the regional conflict which caused 9/11. We were victims of our friendship with the Saudi royalty.)
