On "The Situation Room" today, we asked viewers the following questions, and here are some of our favorite responses that we didn't get to read on air:
What does the U.S. have to do to improve its image among developing countries?Our image around the world might change if we took a mop and cleaned both Democrats and Republicans off the floors of both houses, then move the current administration out of the White House.
Colline, Highland, MichiganI hate to say it but, who really cares what they think of us? I'm sick of this stuff, why should we try to make them like us. No matter what we do it isn't going to work. They want to hate us.
ChanWe simply need to stop being imperialists because many of these developing countries are countries which we have victimized in the past.
K.The U.S. needs to be a fair player, and Americans need to stop believing that our foreign policy is fueled by goodness and morality. A quick check of history will reveal otherwise. We have been duplicitous and deceitful imperialists for the last 100 years.
John, Ashtabula, OhioShould it be a priority for the House to pass a bill commemorating 9/11 today?Dear Jack, I am unable to wrap my mind around the fact that Congress debates horse meat and 9-11 commemorations when so many unbelievably weighty issues are out there begging for attention. My question to the electorate: "How's this workin' for ya?"
Corey, Bellingham, WashingtonAw, c'mon Jack! Nobody else is gonna give them a pat on the back. Let them congratulate themselves for uniting on something for a change.
Eric, Toronto, Ontario
This Congress (dominated by Republicans) has been the worst in U.S. history. Any legislation they pass is meaningless drivel.
Bob, Coconut Creek, Florida
I think it's way past time to pass a bill to commemorate 9/11. It should have been done two or three years ago, but I'm sure the Democrats will find something wrong with the bill as they have every other bill that has been debated on the hill.
Bruce, Creston, IowaYes, Jack, this should be the highest priority. As long as they are working on this, they can't screw anything else up.
Bill, Spring Hill, FloridaWhat does Sen. Lincoln Chafee's win mean for the Republican Party?Senator Chaffee's victory means that there is balance in the country. Chaffee thinking he is a Republican is the equivalent of Lieberman thinking he is a Democrat. I thought we had hit the bottom of the rabbit hole, but it appears that we are still falling. Go ask Alice I think she'll know.
LuLu, Rockville, MarylandIf Chaffee is elected, there will be one Senator that puts America first and the Republican Party second. Wow, is that different!
Paul, Venice, FloridaThat the Republican Party is in as much trouble with the voters as they think they are.
Johnny, Henderson, TexasIt means Congresspersons that have been publicly against White House policy have a chance of being re-elected.
