Gulliver has marched through Afganistan and Iraq. He is the only giant in the land and he does what he wants when he wants to. No one can stand up to him. The liliputians are afraid of the giant. They know they are no match for him militarily or economically. They are going to give the giant grudging approval for what ever he wants to do, as long as they can collect some of the crumbs that fall off his table, hoping to get their economies going again.
One of the liliputian countries tried to assemble some of the other countries to oppose Gulliver, but France was not able to pull enough countries together. They were too poor to risk Gulliver's economic wrath.
The liliputians know not to assume Gulliver will have their interests at heart. If Gulliver does something for you, it is going to cost you big time.
Gulliver will continue to dominate the world, for a while anyway. The problem is that, the liliputian countries will smile outwardly, but many will work covertly to continuously undermine the United States.
How much effort do you think they will put into finding terrorists in their respective countries? Will they arrest the usual suspects? Will they look the other way? Will they even secretly fund their efforts? If, the saying "there is nothing like a woman scorned" is true, what are many scorned nations capable of?
Is it any wonder that no one in the world trusts the U.S.. Bush has shown the world that we are lawless, arrogant and powerful. Be careful Georgie boy, small people in small nations, will get even. Meanwhile, Gas masks might be a good investment.
