"Trust" is a very subjetive term, y'know. That's no guarantee at all. As far as i know, any leader from the U.S., at any moment, could have a nerve crisis or mental disorder suddenly, and God knows what the hell is going to happen with the world if they have the time to give any orders. Probably something very similar of what happens on that Dr. Strangelove movie would happen.
:We are going after Korea because no one trusts them.
Are there any facts that they're going after North Korea? I don't quite think so. Y'see, ALTHOUGH on Irak the troops kicked Saddam's ass and liberated the iraqi people (not that they're much better at the moment anyway) and all that, that WASN'T the reason of why Bush started the war. That's the real point. He wanted oil, for God's sake, everyone knows it. There's no oil (or any important natural resource either) In N. Korea as far as i know. The best that Bush could get from there would be some nice and tasty rice plantations. Do you like rice?
Oh well, if he DOES attack N.Korea, i will admit that i was wrong. But the chances of that happening are... y'know, about...zero.

Purely out of interest, do you know how much of the free world now trusts America?

Made up poll results don't count, show me some proof, especially since they just had a 67% approval rating listed on CNN.

So where did you get 67%? Funny, what did you just say about made up poll results?
Even funnier, now from CNN's latest poll results, the approval rating is at 48%. So I ask again: Where did you get your 67% from? Ratings as far back as the day Saddam was captured? "Made up poll results don't count".

Interesting quest Ellov. Out of those three countries, it's really a gut decision I would think. France is pretty stable, but then there's the whole conservative movement that's building there. England has been America's lapdog lately, not sure if I'd trust them with out stockpile. Germany, besides the whole '39-45 deal, has had a pretty good history. Probably Germany.
The one thing force produces is resistance.

Yes, yes and yes, even though I would campaign for them all to disarm etc.
Face it, Ellov, the world doesn't trust you, and they trust others more. The UK lost a bit of trust during Iraq, but thankfully not too much.

I agree with Bum about the disarmament thing, I don't really trust anyone with nuclear weapons, because like someone said, worst case scenario, you get somebody in office in a country with a stockpile who cracks under pressure, or an extremist regime comes in...and it's a pretty safe bet that a good part of the population won't exist anymore, and future generations are going to be pretty freaky looking. I don't really put much faith in any government, but I put even less in Bush, and I have yet to see anybody who likes him make a really strong argument for why I'm unfair in my reasons for not liking him (although I would definately be open to listening to it if someone would like to try).
