What do you think of this;
"Views of US
The US edges out Russia for the dubious distinction of having the largest number of countries rating it as having a negative influence in the world, with 15 countries saying it has a negative influence and just 6 countries viewing it as positive.
On average, a plurality of 47 percent view US influence in the world as mostly negative, while 38 percent view it as mostly positive and 15 percent did not answer either way. The countries most negative towards the US are Argentina (65%), Germany (64%), Russia (63%), Turkey (62%), Canada (60%) and Mexico (57%). Majorities see US influence as positive in the Philippines (88%), South Africa (56%), India (54%), Poland (52%), and South Korea (52%). A plurality of Italians (49%) are also positive."
Since all those countries have a negative opinion of us - shouldn't we be afraid of them? Maybe they'll attack us. Should we pre-emptively attack them before they have a chance to attack us?

Dear okidoki; I am a grown up. Evidently you can't answer my question so you resort to character assassination. Maybe you should grow up.

We only attack countries that have a viable financial return, Afghanistan has once again become the Worlds leading heroin supplier and Iraq,s puppet government will pay off eventually...unless this whole God damn mess does not blow up in Americas' corporate FACE!

You have the Republican administration to thank for this.
Don't mention pre-emptive strikes to Bush.
He needs a distraction form Iraq, Afganistan, Iran, and North Korea. This might be it...

No, it just shows what we are doing is going to work. Who helped the philippines? US, who is protecting South Korea and helped them? US. And who cares it those other countries don't like us, i doubt many of us like them anyway. But it is surprising to not see France on there.

We can only care to some point what other people think of us and then we have to do what is best for our own interests.
