Sadly, alliances are made to be broken. How long did America resent the British before finally deciding that we'd again be allies? Germany is sometimes still blamed for actions from decades ago. We SUPPORTED Saddam invading Iran, gave him intelligence and the like! I think it's almost impossible to stay allies with another country on every issue for every situation. Times change, people's opinions and wants change. We're all nations full of different people, with different views, so really, I think it's sort of arrogant to assume that we should have allies for everything America chooses to do.

Indeed, it does seem tough to really agree with any policies that come from our government today. Don't know how many people heard about this, but the Bush administration created fake news commercials supporting their tax cuts and medicare bills, and ran them as legitimate news pieces right down to having a voice over say, "This is Cynthia Ryan reporting..." or some name like that, and it was all a big hoax. Does the Bush Administration really think we can't handle the truth? Isn't it about time to admit there aren't weapons in Iraq? Every day more and more stories are leaked out that only further discredit the people we have in power, so really, is anyone surprised that more and more of the world's population is changing there opinions about Bush and America itself. If we really are an Empire, which is still up for debate, then I'm predicting our downfall will not be pretty.

That being said, I cannot extend enough of my sympathy to all those who were lost and hurt in these attacks. Anytime innocent lives are lost, it's a dark day. I hope this never occurs again, wishful thinking to be true, but I still hope for it.

Also, Spain is still helping us on the "War on Terror", correct? so, aren't they still our allies in that respect?

Just to prove that I'm not making up "Liberal" lies:
