I'm with ant on this one, if 80% of the people in the middle east hate us, so what? A lotta people hate muslims right now, that doesn't mean "THERES A REASON FOR THAT GUYS!".
ITW [the irish boy]:
Quake ... you don't need to tell me how bad those superpowers were.
We fought for 900years to get rid of the british. I personally don't "hate" them, but still I am wary of british people, even though i have family there. What they did was horrible, horrific, but I think that can be put under a different heading. What we have here is a new form of imperialism or global superpower. Very like how the enemies are no longer nations, but cells that work within the nations. I think america is bad in a different way. It gives a good standard of living to healthy, wealthy americans. My uncle who emigrated there would testify this. However social framework is not great, but I won't give out about that because you dont give out about policies within my country. The badness of america mainly resides within the big corporations and their puppets in government.In an attempt to maintain its own economic stability, the US is exploiting other countries and the environment. In the past issues were different. The US doesnt colonise other countries and enslave them. However, it does tend to search for "strategic strongholds" in parts of the world, and rather than enslave the people, enslave their economies. The US is not an evil country. GWB is not evil. He may be stupid and/or dangerous, but not evil. At least not evil like old british colonists. However his lack of empathy on foreign issues and his eagerness for war make him a major threat to the world. Damn, Ive lost my train of thought....
Anyway, heres a metaphor i think may apply... Every basket has it's rotten apples, but unless you get rid of these apples and replace them with good ones the basket will always be tainted.
Every country has a dirty underside, but what is unfortunate is the one with a greater amount of dirt, is the nation that is trying to control the world.
I guess what I'm trying to say is two wrongs dont make a right quake. The british were bastards, but that doesnt mean you should be too.
I dont want to come across as totally anti american because i know there are good aspects to it. Just try and open ur mind slightly and see its not all good, but it could be.

Sorry Trauma thats not what I was getting at. Actually I was trying to say the exact opposite. There are a lot of muslims that hate america and there is an must be a reason for this. I think its a worthwhile situation to try and understand. Likewise, I think we should try to understand the reverse. That being why do americans dislike many muslim and middle eastern countries.

you don't always have to single us out
and to answer tech's question "why do you americans get so mad when i criticize your government"
tech....for someone who prides himself on knowing everything there is to know about the american government your ignorant to the basic principle of US government............WE RUN THE GOVERNMENT , this ain't a dictatorship........and perhaps if more people voted here you'd see that the average citizen isn't what YOU foriegnors think it is.......god
