I agree that in any agreement forged by the Americans, it will be us
who get the short end of the stick. In general, the Americans have
not exactly been 'sensitive' to other cultures around the world.
One only has to travel to other parts of the world to see the reception
Americans get there. The common complaint, in Europe, and the Far East,
we hear from Americans is: "WHAT THE H**L DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T DO THAT!?.
THAT'S NOT THE WAY WE RUN <something> BACK HOME!!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The thing they don't seem to realize is >>They aren't back home<<
