of the world stand up for us again? When will we regain our respectability? Will we ever have our upstanding, honest, dependable and forthright reputation again? Have we gone so far as to ruin ourselves in the eyes of others, forever? Is the rest of the world ever going to forgive us?

We have become damaged in a big way in a very short time.
Countries around the world and people within our own borders are embarrassed and hurt by the actions of our country. Will we survive this, and save face? Or is it too late?

As an Australian, we are very connected with the US, sometimes I think unfortunately. I personally think the whole world is beyond repair. Something huge, Bibically needs to happen. Like in the days of Noah, where God flooded the world, & started over. The US government supposed to be the leaders of the world, instead they send troops to other countries to kill innocent people without having conclusive evidence of anything malicious. Furthermore, they send their own fathers, sons, husbands to die for no reason to satisfy their own guilt for not admitting they have made a mistake. I am not surprised with the twin towers disaster, was that another fabricated disaster or not!!! This makes me barf barf barf

It’s George Bush and his policies that they hate. And for good reason!

Nothing can help the USA until Bush is out of office. Bush really is America’s #1 enemy. Isn’t that they most ironic thing in the world? Our very leader is our most destructive enemy.

Hopefully, whomever replaces him in 2008 will have a persona and policies that will once again bring America back to what it originally stood for, and in doing so will restore respect for our wonderful country.

Only time will tell. But nothing will improve until at least November 2008, and between now and then GWB will continue to destroy America. He’s NOT DONE YET! Unfortunately.

Not in my mind it doesn't belong in the politics category? I wasn't even thinking of politics. I was thinking about my country and the way we are being thought about. Not politics, truth.

Besides, it really surprises me that people look at the catagories. I never have. I just look at the heading of the thread. And, if it looks like something I want to read, I open it. Believe me, ever since Tabby busted me on the catagory thing, I try to pay more attention. Not that I feel the need, but I do. At least I try to accomodate those that actually read that "little thing".

Sorry you feel like you were mislead. But, I will stick by the idea that this is not a political thread. After all, it is my thread. I would think I would know if I meant it to be political.

Thank you.

I honestly don’t see how you can say that this isn’t a political thread?

The whole reason the world hate American is because of the politics an policies of the Bush administration.

George W. Bush, “I declare an international world-wide war on terrorism!”

George W. Bush, “You’re either with us or against us!”

George W. Bush, “Osama Bin Laden can run but he can’t hide!”

George W. Bush, “I’m still working on that last quote!”

George W. Bush, “They had WMD’s and were planning on attacking us I swear it!”

George W. Bush, “Iraq was posing a major threat to the United States of America!”

George W. Bush, “Hell no I’m not paranoid, and I wasn’t afraid of Saddam!”

I mean, come on Kat. The reason the world hates America is entirely because of POLITICS

George W. Bush has absolutely no understanding at all of the word ‘diplomacy’. He also doesn’t seem to give a damn what the USA used to stand for!

When was the last time the USA invaded a third-world country because they were paranoid of it?

That’s not the normal policy of the USA. We don’t attack first and ask questions later.

But for some reason we’ve been allowing a madman to play with are military at his whim!

The Bush term(s) have been a NIGHTMARE!

And he IS a madman!

And it’s why the world hates us.

I do not think that the world hates you as a people,

They hate the politics of a president.

Maybe it's just my opinion, but as such it stands.handshake

Abra, you wonderful man.
My heart was not in political mode. If I had wanted a political response, I would have mentioned politics. The president, or the war by name. I HATE POLITICS! It's a big f'n game as far as I am concerned.
You can see it as that if you please. I still do not.
What is the big deal anyway?

I was in a mood, feeling bad for what I read and hear about us as a country of people. As I said, for those that want it to be political, have at it. I wasn't thinking it that way.

Thanks,
Kat

As I have stated before: I hate politics. But, we need to take a stand against ours and other's family members being killed in a war that doesn't belong to us. Too many maimed and dead for a political gain.

Well, just for the record. I think humans world-wide do a pretty good job of displaying apathy, complacency, greed and fear.

Americans don't hold the record for that.

The people in Iraq itself are clearly displaying their own disgusting greed and stupidity. The reason that Iraq is falling apart so bad is not because of the USA, but because the Iraqis within the country hate each other’s guts!

It’s their inability to get together and forum a consensual government that has screwed everything up there.

Not to suggest that Bush was right to go in, in the first place. But the Iraqis have their own greedy agendas to deal with. Same with Israel and the Palestinians.

The USA doesn’t hold any special position for being idiots. The whole world is full of idiots who hate each other and can't get along!

Nope, don't even try to pretend that the USA holds and special place for greed, etc. That's a total joke Alex.

Thing is honey; political parties of all varieties have risen in their beliefs against this war, and this President. Please, please do not hold all of us accountable for the mistakes of "him". We are speaking up against his agendas, and making steps for progress.
Many ,many of us will feel much better when we can stand up and be counted as "a people", instead of "one".
Granted, there are many that believe that this war was warranted. But just as many or more that don't.
