'The US has no respect!'

  • Dear Editor,

    Whatever happened to sovereignty? Following the news about Iran's nuclear ambitions and in particular the US's objection over the past week or so, it just strikes me as incredulous how the US seem to have no regard for other countries' sovereignty!

    Iran's political leanings and alleged involvement in terrorism aside, the fact of the matter remains, it is a sovereign state and should not be dictated to by the US or the rest of the world on domestic policy.

    Make no mistake, I realise Iran is no angel, but what next?

    I'm so sick and tired of the rest of the world having to conform to the US's ideas and ways. It's arrogance to the extreme.

    No wonder so many people have little time for them and are forever trying to bomb their a**es!

    They are making enemies they can ill afford, with potential dire consequences, not only for them, but indirectly to the rest of the world.

    Maybe it's time for the US to stop acting like a spoilt little child that wants to start throwing things (in this case things that go bang!), and make a genuine effort at promoting peace.
