I just want to open the floor for any Non-US dopers to flame (or praise, I guess) the current US foreign policy and the reigning administration in general.
It seems that I could sit here and read foreign publications all day but still not have the slightest idea what is really on the minds of those around the world.
BTW: I understand that because I have been a member of the SDMB for nearly 2 years and this will only be my fourth post and that I am subject to name calling.
You bastards. :rolleyes:
Lurking without posting should not be a cause for abuse.
I’m not sure that posting an OP that invites flames in a context that will do more to incite simple chauvinism (both from Yanks and non-Yanks) is the brightest post I’ve seen in a while. A simple request in IMHO for non-U.S. views of U.S. foreign policy might have attracted more considered responses. A simple request in Great Debates for non-U.S. views of the effectiveness and appropriateness of U.S. foreign policy also might have attracted more considered responses. (So, I guess that putting it in the pit with an invitation for a pile-on makes your intentions a bit suspect.)
But this will not be the first of these threads, nor the last, so enjoy yourself.
If you want to know what’s on the minds of those around the world, go read Great Debates. If you want to flame someone, flame someone. DON’T just “open the floor”.
