is the u.s.a a bully or do think our gov. really is helping others?

Answer 1

no its not, but when a nation acts in its best interest which is often not in sync with international opinion they are seen that way. Everyone wants to have a say, but that often slows things down or simply is not what is our best move and we are able to act independently without relying on the rest of the world. I think that aggravates a lot of people. I also think we help others and sometimes too much when we have so much to work on here.

Answer 2

I see the U.S.A. as like a person. Sometimes people are bullies, sometimes they do good. Politicians make good and bad desisions. It's like layers of an Onion peel. I believe that any conspiracy other than the conspiracy of the followers of Satan that blames all the woes on one group of people (except what I said above) is patently false. There are a number of different factors that cause problems. I find it hard to believe any of the rhetoric of people that constantly bash our President and the policies of the United States with a broad brush and say there are bad policies. For example, we gave arms to both Iraq and Afghanistan in order to fight against the U.S.S.R., and Iran.
That may have been a good idea at the time, but it seems like it has backfired on us, and gave Saddam Husein power. To make that into some kind of conspiracy I think is rediculous. You take all the facts and logically put them together, and what you end up with is a complicated mess of confusion. The only way to clarify that is to see that money is a big player, and Satan is behind much of what is going on. That's what I believe.
So to answer your question, I don't think the US is a bully, in fact in many ways the US is helping people, or at least trying. I can't say that for almost 90 percent of the countries out there. But the US is capable of serious error, and there are evil things going on indeed within the US government. Stuff that you can get your tax audited for speaking about? Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Maybe a bad decision, but look at all the facts before coming to judement, and understand the seriousness of the decision that was made, and the attitudes that a hostile war brings about.

Answer 3

Let me ask you a question:
You and you family live in relative anonymity and yet you occasionally have fights amongst your selves. Does that make you a threat to your neighbors ?
Next question :
Let's assume that you do argue with your neighbors every day about something that you never knew would interest anyone else . Should you be considered dangerous to the neighborhood ?
Next:
If your squabble was over the peaches found on a shared tree and the argument were heated , at times. Should your town be concerned ?
Finally :
If this happened to be the only peach tree in your town yet the grocer always had fresh peaches from South Carolina , would it make any sense to have the National Guard deployed ? As they attacked your house and killed several members of your family as well as instituted a new set of rules that you could only have peaches that were free of fuzz , even though you loved fuzzy peaches...would that be fair ? What if your father was put in jail because he love his child enough to get a fuzzy peach for you and risk his freedom. How would that be considered ?
The evil greed of some Americans has made us a hated nation where once the world population wanted to be as free as we are and now we cannot even eat a fuzzy peach? I'd say ...BULLIES !

Answer 4

People, by nature are selfish. However for a democracy to function it must be compassionate because it is ran for the people by the people. The people running our government may have their own agendas(bush and the war in iraq), but as a whole our government does help out a lot more than you would believe. But because most Americans only see the medias perspective which is highly biased, they do not see all the good that they do for a lot of people around the world. We give billions out in aid to other countries every year, but at the same time we also create destruction in other countries, which we will probably help fix after we are done. So America is a bully, but at the same time we also help out a lot of other people.

Answer 5

You tell me... the US liberated 25 million people from the tyrannistic rule of Saddam. Those people have the right to vote and the right to defend themselves now whereas they didn't before we stepped in there and made mashed potatoes out of Saddams army... the current onslaught of terrorism (gently labeled as insurgents by our piece ofshit press) is certainly a drawback but this has become muslim against muslim with the US backing and assisting the good side.

Hey GEEGEE... you are an absolutely clueless ignorant. If you had a single clue about the Iraq war you would know that Australia was 3rd in military presence right behind the US and Brits.... shows how much you know!

Answer 6

Why is it that when Clinton went into Haiti, the Balkans etc. uninvited, it was seen as heroic and courageous, but when Bush goes into Iraq it's seen as criminal? I believe innocent people died in Clinton's actions too.

So if you people say that the US is a bully, it's not just for the last 6 years.

Answer 7

That is a difficult question. I think that the US has always tried to do the right thing when it has intervened militarily but it hasn't always turned out as it had hoped. I don't think that the US is a bully, but some people may perceive that it is.

Answer 8

Just look at news footage sometimes of starving people most of the food says 'made in the USA'....we try to help other countries, but no country can totally wipe out the problems of another.

Answer 9

A little of both. But one thing is that we are bad at helping ourselves. Just wait till the children are adults and we are older. We'll get what we deserve.

Answer 10

Unfortunately, the US is practicing an aggressive imperialist policy in the Middle East which is queering our relationships with most of the world.
