A couple of thousand people got killed...
In europe and the middle east people have got used of war and bombs...
Simply because other countries are to pussified to retaliate doesn't mean America should follow Europe's lead.

Was it that much of a shock that after years of doing what u wanted around the world somebody kicked back..
And European countries haven't done the same throughout history?

The big suprise for me is that this has not happenned more often..
2 times.. Pearl Harbour and 9/11..
And both times America was quick to respond. It sends the message to enemies that if they are going to bomb American soil, they better deliver a crushing blow in that initial attack or face the wrath of our armed forces. I have been very interested in American history, and I'm certain our founders would support our retaliatory actions.

I think Obama has to be good for the world..
He has improved the image of the US...
He has got a real positive image in Europe and i think it really is time for change...
Why the fuck should we care what Europe thinks of us? And why the hell is he apologizing for the U.S. over there? We have given a lot of great things to the world community in our short reign as a nation. Yet we are apologizing. WTF? What exactly do we have to apologize for? I didn't realize these European nations had such a respectable track record.

Obama needs to be good for America, not the world. He is our goddamn leader, so he better start acting in our best fucking interest before we have 1776 part II.

world wants to love the US..
Its where most of us look to for clothes, tv, movies, music etc..
No they don't. We donate more money to other nations than any other country, but nobody gives a shit. People love hating America. Our President sure as hell shouldn't be apologizing to the rest of the world on our behalf. We have nothing to apologize for! Our history certainly isn't completely clean, but nobodies is!

And the rest of the world doesn't seem to like him that much. They didn't seem to appreciate him pushing for them to give massive stimulus packages to their people. I know for a fact German and French leaders have publicly expressed their anger and annoyance at him in the past month or so.
