Who am I missing on that list?

I'm not looking for countries that Fox is after like France, but ones that our "elected" officials are trying to piss off.

Edits = additions to list.

1. all of the above

and every other country on the planet that has or is close to a natural resource the US wants.

[Joebert]

2. I know everybody on Earth is in trouble.

I am just trying to get a complete list of countries we are actively giving the finger to.

Ones that we are actively trying to subvert their government, or prop it up against their own people.

3. First that comes to my mind is the good ol' USA . . .

[uppityperson]

4. USA

Is Cuba still the list or are bushites just waiting on them?

[Joebert]

5. I haven't seen anything on Cuba lately.

But they sure have tried in the past.

On the list they go.

6. Mainly the USA

7. It'd be shorter to list the countries we're NOT trying to piss off...

I'll start.

Togo.

8. I think you'll see...

... in the near future some very harsh words for Cuba (there's just a longstanding gripe about Cuba among the neo-cons because of Castro), but that's nothing really new, and would be a sideways attack on Venezuela.

Expect to see a few unpleasant words directed toward Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, China (because it won't do what we want with the yuan). I don't think they've given up pestering Canada about joining the missile defense system.

There's a constant, low-level nattering going on about New Zealand, because of its status as a nuclear-free zone and about some of its trade practices (although a lot of those complaints can be reduced to the fact that it has a very Green government).

They may be some rumblings in the direction of the new government in Kyrgyzstan if they don't cut off talks with Russia's Gazprom about Russian pipelines, and don't try to make Russia's Kant air base outside of Bishkek go away.

Expect a few nasty remarks to Iceland if they don't extradite Bobby Fischer.

Expect some stern words to Italy if Berlusconi's brand-new coalition fails and there are new elections, or if Berlusconi yields to popular pressure and pulls out Italian troops early.

There will be ongoing sighs and frowns in Mexico's direction, if it doesn't roll over and accept Bush's immigration plan intact.

There will be presidential and legislative elections in Nicaragua in November, 2006, so you can expect some threatening language in their direction in a few months.

There will be ongoing complaining about Spain--for electing a socialist government and withdrawing troops from Iraq, mostly. Bush very much wants Aznar's party back in.

Indonesia is iffy. The US wants to get bases into Indonesia, but I don't think Congress has lifted the ban on US military assistance to Indonesia--if Indonesia wants the military aid, but doesn't want US bases, there could be some hard words about them, mostly coming from Congress, though.

Probably will be some idle chatter deriding Myanmar, but that will be perfunctory, at best, just to maintain the fiction that the Bush administration is interested in human rights.

We'll know better who the US is really pissed at if Bolton is confirmed as UN ambassador--you can make the list from whomever he annoys in the UN.
