World view of USA and its people own view?

Question

Why is it so hard for one to find an opinion from a USA citizen that doesn’t agree with its external policy?

I am aware that there must be internal opposition against USA government. But were the Americans who voted for this administration (twice)!
I don’t understand how it is possible for someone to justifie 650.000 deaths with the excuse of “we are trying to democratize IRAQ” or the “defence from terrorism” when it’s very much obvious that the oil is the only reason for their presence there.

Do Americans really believe that there are evil countries?
I’m not cynical and say that the USA is the evil country; we can read this a lot as well! Actually, when an American is accused of stealing the oil should reply with "what kind of oil do you use?

But the fact still remains; the world keeps hating you. Many countries have their one share of death/guilt but you don’t see so much hypocrisy

Answer 1

Oil was not the only motive, but was definitely a consideration. As for evil countries I do not believe in that, but I do think there are inherently evil men who run countries.

Answer 2

America has a long tradition of debate and vocal dissent. While at least a bare plurality of votes were cast for Bush, in enough states to win him the presidency, less than half of the people who voted, voted for him, and far less than half of those who could voted for either candidate. That leaves a lot of dissatisfied people to vent thier frustration in any forum they can.

You should be hearing many, many Americans complaining about thier country's leader and policies.


Do Americans really believe that there are evil countries?

Most Americans have a hard time believing that there are evil people at all. They can accept that people are angry, or desperate, or troubled, or trapped, or brainwashed, or decieved, or greedy, or hateful... but few can accept the existance of genuine evil, let alone form a coherent way of dealing with evil when evil is kicking thier collective ***.

Many Americans can agree that members of the rival to thier own political party are at least metaphorically 'evil,' though - especially the leadership. You won't have a hard time finding someone claiming that Bush or Hilary is 'evil.' They don't really know WTF they're talking about, but they'll say it.

Answer 3

I didn't read all of your question but I can see from browsing you don't like americas current war. If you don't like it soooooo much why are you here? I think america is one of the few, minus european countries ,to be civilized enough where the men stick up for there women and are not lying gangsters. I think the middleast is hell on earth; it's hot people are reaaaly poor except for the rich "cast" members and by cast I mean they have light "caucasin skin" color. Women are treated like animals. So for you to see america as a threat to the middleast heck ya we are. ! And you know what I am tired of men like you putting down the men and women in this country that have suffered to death for the freedom we have now. My analysis of you= you are ungratful and if you don't like that than good because you also sound spoiled like you think america isint good enough for you? Just what do you think is good living ?

Answer 4

You have been brainwashed..
if America really wanted to grab a country and its resources, why bother to remove a greedy murderor like Saddam H?
All we would need to do is give him bribe $$ for whatever we wanted. that is how Saddam operated...kill everyone he thought was a drain,nuisance,or dared to oppose his brutality and get bribes from the UN for oil vouchers...
As for justifying deaths....How many on this planet die every day at the hands of irrational humans bent on killing off who they dislike, disagree with or own something they want, have differerent beliefs, clothes, language etc...
...Humans have killed humans since the dawn of time...
IS it evil?? -->OR is it simply that the non murdering."normal" human population has not yet eradicated the irrational human segment of population that kills to attain their desires or delusions????
-The murdering mis-wired human segment exist in ALL societies. Some countries seem to breed them.A population kept busy dying for a "cause" or starving has little time or energy to get educated or even think to simply revolt against the inhumane treatment they receive from their
mis -wired,greedy power obsessed leaders..
