there's a lot of good things about the us, no doubt. but unfortunately some americans believe that they are the only people on this planet... no respect for other ways of living. no respect for the environment. no clue of the meanings of what their president says. not interested in what other people think. letting their presiden lie to them. it would help the u.s. and the world if america would start thinking and taking action instead of waiting for a selfish president to ruin the world...

@Carrie: yes of course they freed irak. but not because of the people being killed and the women being treated badly - it was about the oil! there's a lot of other countries where they could help people but they don't because there's nothing to win...

Ruin the world? You mean like his selfish act of helping to liberate an entire country in less than a year from a murderous, racist, dictator who raped young girls. And is having schools/hospitals/etc... being built there and children recieving innoculations and such ruining that country? What about giving women, who were treated like animals, the right to vote and hold a job? We don't "conquer" countries to occupy them-- we liberate them. And thank God that we do. And of course there are many Americans that are ethnocentric, but you'll find people like that in every country on earth. When you say things like the "president lies" you need to back it up with facts. America has its faults but has done so much good for the world as far as spreading democracy and freedom, helping in humanitarian efforts, etc...-- it's too bad you rarely hear about that on the news or in schools anymore. People are being brainwashed.

We, in America, never stop thinking about the effects of our society on the rest of the world. You use the term "some Americans believe" to justify you ranting. Why are you not upset that some Arabs believe its okay to attack innocent Americans. Did our president lie to us about the World Trade Towers being destroyed? You think it's selfish of our president to try and stop the people who are trying to kill us?
Our president hasn't lied and isn't acting in his own interest. He has, however, mishandled the situation. Every American is adamant in eliminating the extremists who are killing the innocent. This is not an endeavor from which we will back away. Do we care what "some" people in the rest of the world think about it: No.

First of all, I stay in my little corner of the Earth which happens to be Dade City, FL, United States. I mind my own business and I am not strapping bombs to myself or my children and stepping onto buses in the Middle East and blowing people up.
Here's some advice. Worry about yourself and your own country and leave American's alone.

When the Americans free themselves from the Israeli lobby:
"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it." -- Ariel Sharon to Shimon Peres, October 3rd, 2001, as reported on Kol Yisrael
