“One now just waits wondering how with an angry possibly justified Iran, how it is all going to end, only hoping that Obama can produce the miracle that helps us once again to respect America.”

It could be a long time before the USA regains our respect. USA monopolist and parochial policy is the largest contributor to the world situation. The number of countries dissatisfied with the US grows every day, add opposing fervent ideologies, cultures and unwarranted harassment by the US and there can be only one outcome.

Our reliance upon following US policy of all descriptions is our major problem, globalisation is another word for combined disaster. Like every other country, we are different and should approach our future differently to others. Why follow others into hell as we've done before to our regret, the closer we get to the USA, the more enemies we are likely to create. Obama is no different to any other elitist rich politician, he has a lot to say, but does nothing. If Obama was about reform and different directions which lifted up the people, why is he using the same people who worked for Bush, all connected to the same companies and organisations causing US foreign and domestic problems.

What bugs me is our supposed leaders have their noses stuck so far up the rear end of the USA, we will go down the tube with them. This may sound ridiculous, but I'd tell the rest of the world to get stuffed and look after this countries future by becoming as self-sufficient as we can. Then deal with the USA and rest of the world on our non aggressive terms.
