Your opinion about the USA

I do not hate USA. I do not like it on the other hand......

But the regime in USA is at he hands of the "darkest" people on the world. They are really bad.

USA is a country which is ruled by democratic manipulations so non-democratic. They do not have anything to export such as "democracy". If you do not have enough money to make lobby, it means that you do not have right to say in administrative and judiciary level.

Oil and arms industry are abusing American citizens, manipulate them and send them to die in dirty wars. They are also mostly controlling media.

I wonder how Bush has been reelected after being proofed that his administration lied constantly for an unfair war costing hundred thousands of life and billions of dollars.

Could any American explain me this nonsense political life in USA?

I am glad I did not have to make this poll.  I almost did recently due to all of the anti-American talks going on. 

I love the country(as most of you know), but what I can't understand is why do people hate us so much?  Is it just because of our different poilcies?

but don't put Turkey in the line of non-democratic countries also.

I know we had a lot problem, but we are trying to make our democracy better.

Main problem is you are most powerful country in world. and You wont let anyone to forget it.

USA is just like other countries, not better not worse.

I have no speacial hatred against USA, and have not speacial love to USA.

 I will choose Its not too bad, but thats it.

There are things both to love and hate about the US.  personally I think its unfair that peopple hate it for the reason that its so powerful, as often these are people that like superpowers throughout history.  I dont blame the US for supporting evil people either because thats sound strategy especially in the cold war.  had the Soviets won we probably wouldnt be allowed to have this discussion about the USSR.

On the other hand what I hate about the US has more to do with certain cultural sub groups that have alot more power than they should right now.  Mostly its the religious crap.  If the US could just accept that we are about liberty and capitalism and revel in our libertine nature rather than repress it, we would be so much cooler, and less like the Middle East which we claim to be enemies of but in fact are very similair to.

You are not only most powerful, you love to show it.

For ex:

Turkey, USA is never beloved of Turks, but She was not hated so much.

Do you think reason is only because Turkey is muslim?

Or because USA attacked Turkish soldier?

Why do you think arabs should love USA?

You always supported Israel against to Arabs.

Or why Iranians should love USA? Because USA help Saddam to kill iranians?

I think USA follows his benefit.

All country follow Its benefit, But they are not most powerful country of world.

I dont think goverment of France or Turkey is more honorful than USA. But I dont think USA goverment is more honorful than Turkey or france goverment too.

You are right. But That superpowers also hated when they had power. I dont think people loved British or Ottomans.

Something tells me that perhaps you did not just say you were glad the SAS was helping.

1.  If arrogance, boastfullness, and lack of respect doesn't aply to most of the population, then why do people think of us that way?

2.  Actually we have more than 5% of the worlds population which uses most of our own resources with little importation of foreign resources, except for oil.  And I don't know where you get we use borrowed money.

3.  And how does the administration justify any of that?

Some of this stuff seems very absurd.

Well, I truthfully don't care what people think most of the time, but I do like to know why and if it a completly wrong idea, try to fix it.

I don't believe that America only think American lives are important.  We probally think that if a fellow countryman dies, it is more of a punch to us than if someone in another country dies, but I think that is normal in most countries.

As for bush being arrogant, boastful, and disrespectful, I have to disagree.  He may seem a little arrogant at times, but that is because is is from Texas.  As for him being boastful, I have not seen him boast at all except for him saying we are doing well in Iraq, which, depending on what you want to believe, is true.  And I have not seen him disrespect anyone at all.  Again, he is from Texas, and most people from the south tend to be very friendly, trusting, and respectfull.

BUSH may not have known.  The info BUSH gets is supposed to be truthful.  The info BUSH gets does not come from BUSH.  I do not hold BUSH responsible for bad information.
