The United States enjoys strong and cooperative relations with Peru. Relations were strained following the tainted re-election of former President Fujimori in June 2000, but improved with the installation of an interim government in November 2000 and the inauguration of the government of Alejandro Toledo in July 2001. The United States continues to promote the strengthening of democratic institutions and human rights safeguards in Peru and the integration of Peru into the world economy. \nThe United States and Peru cooperate on efforts to interdict the flow of narcotics, particularly cocaine, to the United States. Bilateral programs are now in effect to reduce the flow of drugs on Peru's extensive river system and to perform ground interdiction in tandem with successful law enforcement operations. The United States is considering whether to resume cooperation on an aerial interdiction program. The United States and Peru cooperate on promoting programs of alternative development in coca-growing regions. \nU.S. investment and tourism in Peru have grown substantially in recent years. U.S. exports to Peru were valued at $3.5 billion in 2005, accounting for 30.3% of Peru's imports. In the same year, Peru exported $5 billion in goods to the United States, accounting for about 30% of Peru's exports to the world. \nAbout 200,000 U.S. citizens visit Peru annually for business, tourism, and study. About 16,000 Americans reside in Peru, and more than 400 U.S. companies are represented in the country.

LOL.......I have allot of European friends. And lived there for a while. When worse comes to worst, you can always remind them of WWII....! And how they once ran around colonizing the world. The Conquest/rape of South America is a good jab also.That usually shuts them up right away when they get superior and rudely criticize the U.S.\n\nWho are they to talk about us? They've done far worse historically. And we bailed them all out in World War II.\n\nTry it the next time....:)

Sudan's enemies are many.  Their neighbors all hate them.  They are at war with Chad.  Eygpt has a border dispute with them.  Libya has a border dispute with them.  Ethiopia does not like how Sudan supports Muslim uprisings in Ethiopia.  The US really does not like Sudan because the Sudan government supports the killing of thousands of blacks in the Sudan.  Most UN nations are pathetic wussies, so they are indifferent to Sudan and its killing of its people.  Sudan's allies are Muslim nations that are not in favor with the rest of the world.  Morocco is an allie.  Iran is an allie.  Pakistan is an allie.  Palistan is an allie.

The Peruvian Free Trade Agreement also know as TLC for Tratado de Libre Comercio, which was recently signed, but there is quite a lot of opposition in both countries to avoid its implementation. Once implemented, 80 percent of consumer and industrial products and more than two-thirds of current U.S. farm exports to Peru would become duty-free. Many products from Peru already enter the U.S. market without duties. The agreement ensures that this status would remain unchanged.\n\nCurrent governments favor this agreement, however there are several groups in the US like Sierra Club that oppose it, as well as international groups like Oxfam.  In Peru, the winner of the first round of presidential elections, Ollanta Humala, vigorously opposes the TLC saying this agreement doesn't favor Peruvian interests and its agriculture.

none of the above.  The US seems to attracts all kinds of people from all walks of life.  Its still a melting pot and all kinds of weirdos exist.  Some we like some we hate.  It's all a part of life.

I think that Americans aren´t agree Chavez exterior policy to the United States and Bush administration.\nAlso, with Fidel Castro, they are changing Latin American point of view about freedom, democracy,and capitalism.Chavez give $30 millions to Bolivia, and 65% of Venezuelans are in extremely poverty. Also he´s giving free oil and gas to Argentina,Brazil,Cuba,and Caribbean islands.And he´s finnanciating pro-comunist socialist candidates, that is the case of Evo Morales in Bolivia, and Ollanta Humala in Peru. But I think that intelligent and modern left Latin American leaders like Lula,the elected Michelle Bachelet,Nestor Kirchner, etc. People who really want good relationships with US and the whole world, impede that Chavez made real the "Simon Bolivar´s dream" of integrate all Latin America in one "liberal socialist" block.

I came across a reference today about an integrated American superstate with Canada, the US and Mexico and it was called a tri-lateral agreement. It has not been given to Congress to approve but seems to be going forward anyway. I believe it was on Raidersnewsupdate.com or worldnetdaily.com. I believe he (President Bush) is an excellent New World Order candidate and it breaks my heart.

Yes!!Take a closer look!! Through economics or politics, the U.S.already controls the world.Anyone who speaks out against them( Bush Administration)-France,Iraq,Iran,Venezuela-face invasion or some other form of retaliation. China is being courted,Cuba is being paid,Mexico has the illegal immigrant thing going on and there is no balance of power left. It would take the other countries banding together to stop this and they are kept distracted with internal turmoil or an unwillingness to put aside their long standing differences.What was your question again??Peace.

Not just in Panama.\n\nThe USA has a history of leaving its "dirty washing" behind, even in places such as UK which is supposed to be an ALLY.\n\nLook at the Holy Loch in Scotland. Former US submarine base in some of the most remote and scenic countryside in the world.\n\nWhat did the US when it pulled out ?\n\nIt dumped all its contaminted sh*t in the local waters causing millions of dollars worth of damage.\n\nNo wonder US posters on this board are always asking "why does no one like the USA ?".\n\nAnd in response to your question,  "yes - the USA should clean up Panama if they caused the mess".\n\nJust invite an Iranian delegation over and watch the Whitehouse panic !!!

Two competative guys, both with their own personal agendas and priorities.  I'll root for both Americans.  You know people want to use the race card here but I don't see how it's applicable.  Go USA!

Almost all of the people I come into contact with on a day-to-day basis are not Americans, although I am.  Aside from the people in my office, I know only one American.  Everyone else I know are English, Scottish, Turkish, Australian, Russian, Taiwanese, Spanish or Phillipino.\n\nEvery once in a while I meet somebody who doesn't seem to understand the fact that I am not George Bush, but it is rare.  Almost to the individual, they understand that the American people are NOT the American government.\n\nThey see our news and hear our commentaries.  Many of them are as aware of Bush's unpopularity as we are.  Few will even bring up politics with us, but when they do it seems to be with the understanding that we do not like the American government's actions either.\n\nMany people overseas are acutely aware of what it is like to live in a country where the will of the people is ignored.  This is a newer concept for us, but it is a very familiar one around the world.\n\nI wouldn't worry too much about it.  Yesterday I was talking with a Russian woman who likened our situation to life under Putin's government.  They understand tyranny and rigged elections all too well.  Now we are finding out what it's like, and I think you would be suprised how much empathy a HUMBLE American can get.

I think the US and Canada get along quite well, actually.  We are like siblings sometimes.  We squabble over silly things, but when it comes to important things, I think we get along well, or at least agree to disagree.  I am a proud dual citizen, US/Canada and I love both countries very much.  There will always be ignorant people in both countries who verbally put the other down, but there will always be those uneducated, intolerant types.  Luckily, they are not the majority.
