Mugsy, I don't think that is true. People don't hate us because of who we are. If we use our brains and wonder WHY they hate us, we will find many solutions.

I believe they hate us because:

1. We station our troops in every country we can get our hands on.

2. We support other governments that aren't democratic as long as they allow our troops to be stationed in their land, against the public's will. (I don't think we would be too happy if other countries suddenly decided they needed to install their troops in our country. I can see doing that when needed, but keeping our troops in the land of others for decades is IMHO wrong)

3. We are always concerned about our safety and how we feel and how our people feel, but we care little about the millions of people around the world that have been suffering for centuries, and many of them, because of us or because of nations we "harbor." (me included. I don't realize what they go through until it happens to us at home)

I

huh????

first of all the dislike for us comes from the goverments running the show (the religions play a SMALL part also..)

secular goverments are pretty neutral when you take a look at the map.

troops in "every country we can get our hands on"???? seems like they could kick us out any time they want....

the last country we took over was TEXAS. they put up a pretty good fight too (Texans, that was not a slam, rather an endorsement of your individuality!)


the fastest way to get a people under your thumb is to keep them uneducated and slowly feed them the pablum of your regime.....

yes there are millions of people suffering under a dictator/regime/
government....but every time the US steps in people go nuts and tell us we are bullies, terrorists and put troops in every country we can lay our hands on....

which way do you want it???????

people living in the shadows of US forces, to be protected in an oblique way or should we just butt out, pull everyone home and let the downtrodden suffer.....

yeah they may hate us because of our foreign policies, but when we make a policy, for the better of a country, we get hate for doing that job.......for me, if i am gonna be hated, let it be for something I have done, not sitting around trying to cover my rear, as some countries do.

you can't have it both ways.
