Does the US have an image problem?

don't think i'm hating guys... we've hit this a few times.


--- Quote ---The US is suffering from a serious image problem, according to a new report by an influential New York-based policy group.
The report by the Council on Foreign Relations says the US Government is in need of an urgent public relations overhaul to improve its image in the international community.

It says the Bush administration has significantly failed to capture the hearts and minds of non-Americans, blaming a dramatic decline in funding for government departments dedicated to promoting US policy and values overseas.

Snubbing Kyoto and the newly-established International Criminal Court did no favours for the Bush administration either, according to the report.

hot topic ;)

Jay ay Beee:
Two things made the US look really bad among others:

1) Fucking Kyoto - couldn't believe that shit

2) Guantanomo Bay - Scandalous - what is it now? 200 days?  No trial?  No lawyers?  Fuckin scandal

Plus you got a President who lost an election and still takes office.  If that shit happened in the third world they'd send the UN in.

King Tech Quadafi:
the US govt is a fuckin joke, how the fuck can they not realize the world hates them

like the homie JAY AY BEE already said

1) kyoto treaty

2) the international court

3) guantanomo Bay

4) their call for SADDAM's death, unwarranted call for a regime change, niggaaaaa fuck you!

5) a regime full of racists, ex. Ashcroft

6) their middle east policy



soooo i say FUCK EM

Don Seer:
i'd add China to that list. multiple infringements.


btw.. what happened with Guantanomo Bay?

Jay ay Beee:
Your ass didn't see the Daily Mirror front page yesterday?

200 days on from when they first started sending motherfuckers affiliated with the Taliban to the prison camp in Guantanomo Bay Cuba, they are still there, no trial, not lawyers no nothing just detained.  This shit is illegal in international law, you got Amnesty international running about on the US's back complaining, and there's 7 Brits in there and they're not getting fair treatment.  Meanwhile the American guy that got captured, Walker, because he's American he gets a fucking trial and an expensive lawyer while everyone else is getting treated like shit in Cuba.
