Sad, isn't it?
Be ready for an all-out attack on your question, by the way.
(actually the Brits/Euros are in bed so you may be safe.)

US policy effects the whole world. We are strategic allies. Anything America does is my business and of interest to me.
Like President Bush said when visiting Belgium and I quote:"
I appreciate the opportunity, in this great hall, to speak to the peoples of Europe. For more than 60 years, our nations stood together to face great challenges of history. Together, we opposed totalitarian ideologies with our might and with our patience. Together, we united this continent with our democratic values. And together we mark, year by year, the anniversaries of freedom -- from D-Day, to the liberation of death camps, to the victories of conscience in 1989. Our transatlantic alliance frustrated the plans of dictators, served the highest ideals of humanity, and set a violent century on a new and better course. And as time goes by, we must never forget our shared achievements.
Yet, our relationship is founded on more than nostalgia. In a new century, the alliance of Europe and North America is the main pillar of our security. Our robust trade is one of the engines of the world's economy. Our example of economic and political freedom gives hope to millions who are weary of poverty and oppression. In all these ways, our strong friendship is essential to peace and prosperity across the globe -- and no temporary debate, no passing disagreement of governments, no power on earth will ever divide us"

What are foreign participants? Isn't this called the WORLD WIDE web? Or don't you get that?

I think the better question is why do they care what the US does, like in Iraq. It isn't affecting them, they just don't like the fact the US is flexing its muscle.

Because the US is number one, that's what people do to those they envy, they critique them. To make them feel better about themselves or their country.

Could it be your obsessing about foreigner's opinions and not vice-versa?
