    It does seem that America and the World are so divided. I am not going to say that it is all bush's fault, though. Bush has done much to anger the world at us. With his arrogant spirit, like is shown in his comments like "Bring it on..." (a message to the Iraqi insurgency", and his desire to "spread democracy" to any oil-rich nation. Part of it is the Oil For Food scandal. I think that France was so opposed to us going into Iraq, because we would uncover their involvement in it, and embarass them, which we did. The muslim nations hating us has nothing to do with Bush. They hate us because of the effect our western liberal culture is having on their theocracies. People are begining to think more independently now, and they hate that. And, I think that many other nations envy our freedom and wealth, too.

      The Liberal press told us that we're supposed to hate ourselves for our successes. Apparently on our way up the food chain we failed to drag along the deadweight that Darwin taught us should be left behind, and somehow that is assumed to be wrong. I guess that violates some of the principles of mercy and goodwill that the various religions we welcome to thrive in this country promulgate, though we are required, according to the courts, to ignore those principles lest someone might think that we are promoting religion. It's all too confusing for my small mind.:confused: Possibly, just possibly, we hate what we have allowed America to become over the past 50 years. Maybe we feel that it's wrong to allow our neighbors across town to decide what color we should paint our houses, but we're too timid to speak up. Maybe we're tired of a patronistic government that claims to know better than we how to manage our lives, but we believe that our votes don't count and don't make the effort to resist. Maybe we're tired of apologizing for being the only country trying honestly, though often wrongly, to make the world a happier place. Maybe, just once, we should all turn out for a vote when an election is held, to voice our true opinions - if we have one that isn't just parroting the press - and make a difference. Nah... There I go dreaming again... Maybe, just maybe, the "Great Experiment" of Democracy is as fundamentally flawed as Marxism. Universal sufferage means that the vote and opinion of the stupidest person you have ever met has exactly the same weight as your vote. God never seems to tire of making stupid people - we're doomed.:sigh: But it's still worth trying to do better... "...a photo album is like Life, but flat and stuck to pages." - Shog9

        I hate bush too for a different reason, In his drive against terrorism he has made pakisthan a "important" ally which is not very good for India when most of the terrorism comes there.

          No, they hate you because America is a Zionist nation, along with Britian, but, being the biggest, and the biggest backer of Israel, the hatred is directed at the US. Nunc est bibendum

                  i'm pretty sure you missed the point entirely. "Why Does X Hate America" is a favorite formulation of the right. they use it (or variations) whenever X disagrees with The Leader or his policies. but, it's been adopted by the left, sarcastically, to use whenever someone on the right disagrees with The Leader or his policies. you see, only the right seems to believe X really Hates America when they use the phrase; and they say it with serious and dour faces. those on the left says it with a smile and a snicker because they're pointing out that the phrase, and the right's reason for using it, is total horseshit. therefore, if only 35% of America approves of Jr's performance, means that 65% of America must hate America.

                          I think you make a confusion between the people and the country. I have no doubt most of american people have good intentions and sincerely believe what you wrote is true, but in my opinion there is also no doubt that US governments always put the US interests first and didn't care about making the world a happier place for non-americans.

                            Can you name one country that does not do this? That is the job of the goverment. That is like being mad at a company president for trying to make more money for their company. It's natural.

                              It does seem that America and the World are so divided. I am not going to say that it is all bush's fault, though. Bush has done much to anger the world at us. With his arrogant spirit, like is shown in his comments like "Bring it on..." (a message to the Iraqi insurgency", and his desire to "spread democracy" to any oil-rich nation. Part of it is the Oil For Food scandal. I think that France was so opposed to us going into Iraq, because we would uncover their involvement in it, and embarass them, which we did. The muslim nations hating us has nothing to do with Bush. They hate us because of the effect our western liberal culture is having on their theocracies. People are begining to think more independently now, and they hate that. And, I think that many other nations envy our freedom and wealth, too.

                                  :laugh: nearly all most major polls that have come out in the last month have Bush below 40%. http://www.pollkatz.homestead.com/files/pollkatzmainGRAPHICS_8911_image001.gif[^] got any evidence that they're all part of a giant left-wing conspiracy to mislead the country into believing Bush isn't popular ?

                                    Can you name one country that does not do this? That is the job of the goverment. That is like being mad at a company president for trying to make more money for their company. It's natural.

                                      It does seem that America and the World are so divided. I am not going to say that it is all bush's fault, though. Bush has done much to anger the world at us. With his arrogant spirit, like is shown in his comments like "Bring it on..." (a message to the Iraqi insurgency", and his desire to "spread democracy" to any oil-rich nation. Part of it is the Oil For Food scandal. I think that France was so opposed to us going into Iraq, because we would uncover their involvement in it, and embarass them, which we did. The muslim nations hating us has nothing to do with Bush. They hate us because of the effect our western liberal culture is having on their theocracies. People are begining to think more independently now, and they hate that. And, I think that many other nations envy our freedom and wealth, too.

                                      Technically 'you' didn't. A french judges began an inquiry in 2002. This conclusion seems as far-fetched as claiming that the US invaded to cover its involvment in the scam. Both french and americans people are/were prosecuted, but I don't think in either case the scam was the reason behind both foreign policies. Oil probably is, in both cases, but not the scam itself, which is peanuts regarding what is at stake. Anyway, even if France did not oppose, China and Russia would have vetoed any resolution asking for the invasion.

                                        quote:"my opinion there is also no doubt that US governments always put the US interests first and didn't care about making the world a happier place for non-americans." You say this with a air of condemnation. -- modified at 12:07 Thursday 3rd November, 2005
