What do other countries think of America. Do you think we're stupid for going to 'war' with Iraq? Do you think we're greedy? What do you think of Bush? What are your views? Are we really the most hated country in the world?

Most of the western democracies who criticize us do so in order to appease our enemies. They realize that when it comes to war we will protect them. They inwardly support Israel because they realize that a democracy in the middle east is important, but outwardly denounce them in order to make themselves popular with the Arabs. They can do this because they know that we will support the Israelis and they don't have to. They don't have to spend time, money, and popularity/political capital supporting democratic values because we do all of that for them. They also don't have to build their military because we will protect them. That's fine I guess... as long as people realize that their criticisms of America are not altruistic.

Many of the world are jealous of our freedoms and everything that we have. We are very lucky.

But we are starting to lose respect. This is mainly because of our current President. He has brought our global status down.

well.....what happens when something goes down? Everyone looks to the United States to do something. We are the pointman, and thus, we are the world police. I'm sorry, but its true.

Well they can't think we are lazy because we are the most economically powerful country in the world, but greed is the main issue with America.

bauhaus, my friend Laura and her family came to America, from Cambodia, because of a war. Just because people come here doesn't mean they think it's the most fantastic country in the world.

If you got to France, they spit in your food, or on you... and throw things at you. I bet a ton of the Middle East countries hate our guts. (We butt in too much.) And a few more here and there. (Well... a ton more, we basically have no allies)

Like ICE said, we invaded Mexico way before they came here. Way before... Big Grin

-----"""With all the Mexicans here, Mexico is invading the US."""

With all the U.S. stealing half of Mexico in 1848, it's more we invaded them, like they were here first, and like they are taking back what was rightfully theirs.
