From where i stand (outside amerika, thank god) yes, US international relationships are really going downhill. Its obvious the US thinks they are just the bee's knees and can do what they want without any consultation with anyone, no wonder they were voted off(drug trafficiing/human rights), they are not a team player(afterwards they threaten to withdraw funding like a little kid who was kicked out for bullying and threatens to take his ball with him). America has always refused to have equal standards, they still refuse to sign the Landmine treaty (it might undermine your defence) , YES IT DOES DO THAT, BUT IT SAVES THE LIVES AND LIMBS OF INNOCENTS. Damn after being to vietnam and seeing kids with missing limbs from american landmines....Now we have Koyoto, which is not aparantly in the US economic interest, well we will see whats in the US economic interest when miami starts to flood won't we. Then we have the Missle shield........I am hoping the US becomes isolated and without many close allies and the rest of the world bands together in the spirit of cooperation to takes its place on the world stage.
