I'm not sure why Luciann did not understand the question.....\nWe were always awake but our hands have been tied. And YES, the cowboy is in for a very deserved rude awakening, our new elected officials will see to that. Like the rest of the world a very large percent of Americans are not happy with him either. He's been acting like a Catholic leader, just make up the rules as you go and who cares what anyone else thinks.

America is just going to have to suck it up and leave like we had to do in Vietnam. It is disgraceful and we have Mr. Bush to thank for that.

A country can't maintain what they don't have.  Presige has been gone in the world since the Clinton administration when the world was laughing at our former president's sexual behavior.\n\nWhat has happened since has just brought it further downhill.\n\nAmerica would regain prestige if we won the war, but how do you win this kind of war?  I'm not holding my breath.\n\nBest Wishes,\n\nSue

This guy is pretty much spelling out what any half awake American should already have concluded on his or her own. Which is the root of the problem with Americans today. We are a nation of sheep.

I am afraid not. It will come down to fighting them here on our own soil before some ppl. will wake up. Are you ready?\n\nNotme--sometimes it's not our choice.

It's called arrogance.  The U.S. has had natural resources, brain power and big bombs.  I think the day of awakening is coming when the next breakthrough in technology comes out of India or China.

Being that the US is the premiere world power, it is incumbent that the US is the police state, so to speak, for the rest of the world.  Changing presidents will not change that.

YIKES!!  Now I'm gettng worried. Don't scare me like that. Sometimes we seem so weak I could see it happening. If we don't get tougher it's going to be a Mexican and Muslim country. All those wars we fought to have American freedom and then the hippies grew up into weak Liberals and we get took over easily from within.

To all those looking at USA and hoping it goes down, please take note that if we in the USA go down we will not go down quietly. It is not our style. \n\nWe will almost certainly take down some large fraction of the rest of the world with us. That is not a threat or even a wish, it is just realism.\n\nHope for the USA to change? Fine, I'm with you. Hope for the USA to lighten/loosen up a bit on world affairs? I don't agree, but I understand why you feel that way. Hope for the USA to go down, to fall, to fail? You are asking for one whole pile of worldwide collateral damage. So watch out.

I suspect they are years away...unless they use low tech delivery solutions (van full of uranium etc). It is a very real threat though and I for one are pleased to see that the west are at least trying to resolve the situation (peacefully?) before it get out of hand.\n\nToo many countries have the technology now for the west to play policeman anymore - new world order anyone?

Yes. talk about awakening the sleeping giant, the next two years will shock and awe Americans back into reality. and then we can move forward with a republican president like Rudy.

OK America Now are we going to Awake the sleeping Giant...Look I read about this in the People Magz. the problem is this is a different state that this is talking about..Its called Control..We are going to be the dumb ones if we don't start standing up...educating ourselfs and getting things stright...If we don't start to shape up this country..we are going to leave a big mess for our kids to have to clean up, provided they care at that point.. Vist my blog there are plenty of things going on....

Here's the thing...the US bought a huge chunk of the Southwest from Mexico in the first place.  If they want it back, I suggest they break out the check-book.
