Does the world still love America Does the world find us arogant

My wife tracels a lot to Northern Europe She sees the decline. Especially at Hotels or Cab drivers attacking US policy.

Sure this is a small segment of society; but today she is with a Norweagin family that had a 5 year old bring up why do you want to live in America.

We get involved & they hate us, but if we didn't get involved, they'd hate us.



We fight wars in Afghanistan & Iraq and we have made their lives so much better. But if we had not gotten involved, they would have blamed us for not doing more.



I don't care about the hate. I'm proud that America is always one of the 1st, if not the very 1st country to give aid when needed. I'm proud that America is not afraid to fight a war to make a difference in people's lives.

The rest of the world has had about enough of us.

We have squandered our national treasure on tax cuts and wars for oil.

We are so arrogant that we will invade other countries to take their oil before we will drive a sensible car.

The rest of the world is pleading with us to show some leadership, something we used to do, on climate issues and we pretend we don't believe anything is wrong.

We are broke and live from the kindness of strangers but instead of being contrite, we are arrongant and make smart remarks. (See the other answers)

We are a once mighty empire going under for the third time and won't do anything to help ourselves and insult those who would still befriend us.

We deserve what we get. Turn off the lights, the party is over.

It's always "we." Sorry but I'm not my government--I didn't vote for this illegal war, for torturing people (many who are released because they commited no crime), having the Fed devalue the dollar, sell the country out to China and Saudi Arabia, and various other criminal acts.

I think it is far more important for foreign countries to be concerned, VERY concerned, about what WE think of THEM!

If you cross the US, you will be warned FOR YEARS in advance...but keep it up and we'll kick your a** and to hell with the arrogant stuff. Big dogs eat little dogs dont they?

Who cares what the world think?

What do you think?

Do you believe your country is doing the right thing?

Do you still believe in freedom?

Are you free?

Who cares? Really? As far as I am concerned, we should pull out of the UN completely. If they want to be so judgmental, let them to their own devices and we can sit back and watch were it gets them.

We've saved the world's rear end a few times, many more times than any other country has, and the rest of the world resents us for it.

We need to stop caring about what the world thinks. Do what is best for America and tell the rest to bugger off.

what matters is that we Americans love our country. If we are thought to be arrogant, that's someone else's problem!
