Ccincy: So your friends and family are obviously mainly going by what they read/hear by the media?If we are hated so much by other countries then why are other countries depending on the US for help then?I must be missing something.
They want our help because we are powerful...does that mean they like us??? These are answers you already know.
ladyirish130: I'm interested in other countries opinions. I personally think the U.S. interferes too much and should concentrate on our own issues at home because there's plenty of them.
Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam were totally justified but you should have kept out of the second world war. Did more harm than good.
Ladyirish. No. America cannot ignore what is going on around the world. Why. Because whatever is eating the world will soon be a America's door. We can learn from World War11.

WE have no business policing the whole world and ignoring what should be done over here in the US.
Quoting my son there have been enough families hurt from the wars and a lot of people suffering from being over seas watching their buddies being blown up in humvees etc.All the wars have ever done is create money for the undertakers.

Money for the undertakers,as well the weapons manufactures.

That's an Irish brand name , 100 million $ industry here . Its supposed to be antibiotic so don't thrash it as any antibiotic looses is effectiveness when over used .

I didnt think of that... , I bought it in lidals and says on jar New Zealand,
I've heard that the high strength one is used in hospitals,
I just use two big dollops on toast, is this too much,?
JOIN THE ARMY TRAVEL THE WORLD MEET LOTS OF NICE PEOPLE THEN SHOOT THEM. We think we are the most advanced species on this earth but we are the only ones that go around mindlessly killing eachother

ladyirish130: Hmmm... being somewhat naive... I'm referring to the United states sending soldiers to fight try listening to the news in any other country but ours. It will be closer to the truth.
I do listen to the news, and I comprehend. I was just making sure that is what you meant,being that is not what the title of the thread said Naive? I would not say that. Just different than me. I am not fond of wearing a burka, converting to Islam and being treated less than a dog. As you said let them all blow each other up but that does not always happen. They join forces and grow bigger then they go knock on other doors.
ladyirish130: Incase you hadn't noticed most of the rest of the world hates us for our interference or should I say our governments interference. Americans can't even travel to a lot of places because of it. Maybe it's just me but I think certain countries fighting amongst themselves should be allowed to blow each other up until their extinct.
I don;t have a problem with that ..... but of course if we don't "interfere" we'll be criticized for not helping the helpless civilians or some such
they hate us when we side with someone they don;t like (as though as a sovereign nation we are somehow not entitled to form our own alliances lol) or (as in India) we send home their naughty diplomats....... but they love us as soon as they need us...be it money or military might....then we are their best friends
phooey I say...y'all can have at it w/ each other whilst we stay home and close out borders and keep our energy here. tired of the damned if we do - damned if we don;t...lol
Ccincy.. The US is the sole "Super Power" in the world. It does have an obligation to help maintain peace and stability around the world. There are a few people here calling for isolationism , however, that's where the US was before Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.

Iraq a good example , they did not want a US base on their soil , because Iran said so . A year or so later they are screaming out for help , not help that Iran can give or would want to give either . Nothing like an enemy 5 miles from home to sharpen their two faced minds .

Historically all empires,and in modern days Superpowers had the same problem. Condemned if you do and damned if you don't.
Uhm, Almost ALL countries make weapons, even Germany. The "weapons lobby" can't sell anything overseas without the express consent of the government. Countries also use weapons for DEFENSE.
