Whilst looking up more sources relating to Jacquie's post on improved relations with France, I found this:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/11/07/sarkozy.congress/index.html
Sarkozy insists that the USA and France work together, but remain on equal footing.
He called on the USA to acknowledge the international issues that threaten to effect every nation.
Musharraf called for a state of emergency, postponed elections and suspended constitutional rights in the name of the fight against terrorism.
Bush and Sarkozy have taken it upon themselves to threaten Musharraf into retreating.
They are demanding that Pakistan "'have the elections as scheduled, and [Bush wants] [Musharraf] to take the uniform off'".
The article focuses on the revived relationship between France and the USA, but will this relationship last?
Returning to the issue over America's self appointed state as "World Police", is it really our right to get involved?
Isn't it slightly hypocritical that Bush demands Musharraf "take the uniform off"?
While Musharraf might be using more drastic measures, isn't doing so under the same
reasoning as the Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Act?

It is not like we our the world police because we have nothing better to do. Come on, if we stop making attempts to make sure everything else runs smoothly, then we will ruin not only control over our economy ( a Global Economy) but we will allow other nations to go unregulated ( in my opinion committing su to the cide). So if anyone wants to challenge me on why we should let other nations ruin the world we live in and threaten our safety, go ahead and we can go at it. All leave you with a fact from ABC, {1/3 of the world's pollution comes from Asia. It only takes three weeks for the pollution to get to our homes}
