They are constantly treating people around the world who criticize America as "the enemy" or as "anti-American".
Don't they understand that the people they REALLY have to worry about are the ones that DON'T criticize America...because they don't believe we can improve?
If you really want America to be able to exercise leadership in the world - and I do, as long as it is peaceful leadership in line with international law - then you have to listen to wise people when they tell you what you are doing wrong.

Mahal, it is not a question of who the government represents. It is simply a question of having an open mind and a willingness to listen to what people are telling you.
You should be thankful they are willing to take the time. Really.

It's more an issue that the foreigners who criticize America are doing nothing else but criticizing America. It's easy being an armchair quarterback.

The only way the USA should reform is to stop sending US taxpayer money to foreign countries as "Foreign Aid" ! I bet you don`t find any examples of "foreigners criticizing "foreign aid" ?? Any country that votes against the USA more than 50% of the time in the United Nations get`s cut off immediately ! "You say listen to "wise" people , pray tell who and where in the world would that be ?? If they were wise , they would be trying to sneak in the USA like every other nationality in the world is !! If the USA is so bad , where is the mass exit to leave ?? Sorry , but this is the USA 2007 , not 1960 , and we have never changed our Nations Capital from Washington , DC to Woodstock , NY !!!!

This is a bad question. I may be fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing, but this one jumps out at me. I'm a (very) liberal Democrat. I live in a community of mostly conservative Republicans. I'm America and I like them. Those I know are good human beings and good Americans. We don't agree on much politically, but I find it's mostly a matter of apporach, not substance. We have to get past this bulls**t. Disagreements are fine. We should have them and learn from them. I despise politicians who take their marching orders from Limbaugh and Rove and simply repeat the phrases without any indepenent thought intervening. But I also think Pelosi and Reid don't show any qualities of leadership. My favorite conservative of all time is Barry Goldwater. You may not be old enough to remember him. The Democrats ran a scandolous campaign against him in 1964. It was embarrassing. Goldwater's views on the Bill of Rights were identical to mine. I disagreed with him on nearly everything else. But he always had an argument. And, believe me, nobody told that man what to say. I miss him. I wish there were more.

Sorry, I don't want to take advice from hugo Chavez or the Iranian president, however his name is spelled. Anti-Americanism has been going on for years. Most countries hate the fact a country founded by anti-establishment became the world super power. We could do everything every country wanted and we'd still be criticized for something.
we're doing what's best for us and the rest of the world, no matter what excessivly bleeding heart say.

they criticize us are jealous because we are the top power in the world. Who cares what " they" want? they need to focus on riding themself of terror and securing thier own land. Do democrats understand that criminals for the most part cannot be reformed? Do the donkeys understand that in order to eat steak you have to slaughter the cows?

Sure we do. We understand they want us to surrender and kow tow to them and their anti woman, anti freedom, anti human rights, anti prosperity agenda. And to that we say - nuts. Just what wise people would you have us listen too? The corrupt fruitcakes in the UN?

The reason they criticize and hate us isnt because we are free and they arent, or we are soo good and they are soo bad, or whatever other ridiculous explanations people give, its because they see us (our government) for what it really is... Terrorists... Seriously though, think about it, if China was to feel that we werent running the US like they thought we should, and decided to come over here and and set up huge bases all over the country and blow up our bridges and buildings, killing innocent citizens, how do you think wed view them?
