Oh stop hating. If it were so bad then how come millions of people a year are dieing to get into our "reprehensible" country?
Get real and stop being a baby.
If people are dying to get into your country it is only because your government is making it extremely dangerous for them to do so. There is no argument that the USA is the richest and most powerful country on earth, so it is not surprising that many from impoverished nations would want to share in the prosperity, the argument is the way in which your government is flouting that power.
To pacify the world and win hearts and minds can only be done by example and the example being presented by the present US administration is only dishonouring and besmirching the reputation of that once great and respected country to the point where it is the most hated government on the planet.
If you find that hard to believe I suggest you look around the internet and read some of the news programmes, opinions and articles to that effect; the Italian Prime Minister has just been forced to resign because of his pro US foreign policy, tens of thousands of Italians are demonstrating because they want US bases out of Italy and they want nothing to do with that other American war in Afghanistan, and yesterday and today there are demonstrations against the war criminal Dick Cheney who is visiting our country, two thirds of Australians want our troops home from Iraq, we have had enough of your war mongering government, we want peace when all your Bush neo-cons can do is demonize other nations such as North Korea, Iran and only yesterday Cheney was demonizing China
The world has had enough of US hegemony, we want no more lies and misinformation, get rid of America's phoney war on terror, the only terrorists in this world are the Americans and the sooner you shake off the
Rambo condition and stop believing your own fiction the safer the world will be; we don't need your barbaric system of torture and the denial of justice; give us back the America we once admired and respected.
NickFun, I realize that vast majority of American citizens also want peace and tranquility, hang in there friend, the world will one day welcome that good ole Country back to the fold.
