I'm an American citizen, I voted against Bush and his war. He is as unpopular here as he is abroad.
America once was a respected nation. Now, we are frightening and pissing off the entire world. Other than our stance on Iran, the rest of the world wants nothing to do with us.
Our allies, some have stuck with us (THANK you and bless you), and others have (rightly?) abandoned us. But you can't really blame them.
The world was with us after 9-11, and supported us in Afghanistan. George Bush has destroyed all of the goodwill that the world had toward us when he unilaterally invaded Iraq. Now we are seen as a villain and a menace. Some nations may be arming themselves because they percieve us as a threat, so it's our own fault.
When the world turns its back on your country, it's time to admit that you could be wrong.
To non-US citizens: What can we do to right this wrong? How can we regain your respect?
I love my country, but that doesn't mean I support everything it does.
