I don't know what to say about those who wildly blame the U.S.
for all of the worlds problems, both real and perceived. I'll only
note that Mr. Feher's claim that "The USA confiscates other
countries natural resources" is absurd. The U.S., like all other
nations, purchases resources in a competitive marketplace.
Recently, the price of most resources has been set by China,
not by the U.S.. Mr. Feher should take comfort, I suppose, in the
knowledge that the U.S. is actually growing weaker economically,
relative to the rest of the world, every day.

How many oil wells are there in Japan or France or Germany?

None. What's your point?
