Did everyone forgot about USA illegal occupation of Iraq by now?
Did everyone forgot what USA has done there?
How the hell they dare to say anything? I suppose that's exactly what Americans are afraid of...if they are not "the only remaining superpower" they'll have to be prosecuted for their war crimes and illegal occupation, sooner or later...

Fear not, first they'd have to be defeated militarily and that's not going to happen because they have nukes and the Second Amendment.

As for Iraq... Since 2003: Chirac and Villepin are gone, replaced by Sarkozy l'Americain; Schroeder is gone, replaced by Merkel; Prodi has come and gone, and Burlesconi is back in the hot seat; Colin Powell is gone, with his misgivings; Rumsfeld was sacrificed in 2006; it seems Bush won.

A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith

bush won the day he invaded iraq.  those other guys lost because of domestic issues.  specifically I'd say the media won.  corporate media power is THE issue in the world right now.  Check out Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, swinging the strongest hammer on this issue.  Amazing what he's put up with.

Bush may win and he may die his natural death but his legacy will live and will stay with Americans for the long time. They will pay for it in a long run. Sooner or later. Look at the Germans, will they ever again have right to feel equal with others? All though they are great nation in many ways. You may argue that they were beaten militarily though...
Just because western media do not talk about Bush's /USA war crimes it doesn't mean they do not exist and others are taking notice about them just waiting for USA to be on it's knees to pull them out of the beg. And the way things are going right now it looks like Empire is falling...slowly but certainly...World hopes so, cause most of the world population just had enough of them.
