Yes most people would disagree with calling him "evil"....greedy, selfish, powerhungery and underhanded yes, but not evil. Come on The Green River Killer, John Wayne Gasey, Jeffory Dommers, and many other violent criminals, they are evil.....Billy-Boy is not evil, he just has a way of doing what's best for himself.

How much will it harm our country and economy when the world (rightly) turns their back on us for our double-standards in the matters of state and business? I worry that it would be something nigh-repairable.
Get a clue.
The United States is the world's largest and strongest economy.
Virtually every other nation on the planet is indebted to the US or is dependent on some form of US aid (economic bailouts, IMF loans, military support, food grants, etc.)
Every country with hard currency is heavily invested in US business interests.
The point? Simple: any country that turns their back on us (rightly or not) will see the immediate collapse of its economy. (Didn't you notice that the rest of the world economic markets were hit harder after 9-11 than ours were?)
