Default Wikileaks and US dependancy on foreign countries

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critica...ies_Initiative

Seems the rest of the world is actualy important to America. I have my own ideas about this but which country does anybody think has the most influence over America in what it supplies or what America needs from it.

We don't care about anyone else. Statements to the contrary are either propaganda or a cover story to send our enemies on wild goose chases. If we cared about someone else, wouldn't we be learning foreign languages from kindergarten onward? The defense rests, Your Honor.

Well that may be true to some degree but I think the US does care about certain essential resources, intrastructure or products that are either outside/or made outside of its territory.

I do think we care about other nations. I just wouldn't want my wife caring about me the way we care about other countries.

When we were busy turning large parts of the world pink (in old British Atlases, the Empire was pink) we just made the rest of the world learn English!
