This question is not directed at foreigners, but rather at those Americans who hate their own country. I realize that we are entrenched in a massively unpopular war in Iraq and Afghanistan which angers many, but I cannot understand the unabiding hatrid of America by so many. Everywhere I look I hear Americans denouncing America in language that would make Osama Bin Laden proud! They say outrageous things like America is the world's biggest rogue nation, or terrorist state! They compair the US with the Soviet Union, and they denounce Americans as uncaring, racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. I simply cannot understand this self loathing. The USA does indeed have its share of deficiencies, but on the whole I think we are a far greater source of good, than a source of evil. Honestly, I don't know of any other country that during a war drops crates of food for the citizens of the country we are at war with, in order to avert starvation! Where did all this hate come from?
