    Do you care what people in the U.S think of your country?

    Like the comments in this thread directed towards my country?

    Do you really think world problems are being solved on this forum? Personally I feel there is a lot of "venting" going on, and not much in the way of solutions.

    I haven't said anything against Americans in this thread, if you read my comment again, you'll see that. I was being by USA's side indeed. Sure there is venting, but that's all that can happen on a forum anyway. Like you said, problems are not being solved on forums, we're just exchanging thoughts here.

    I didn't accuse of anything. For the most part your comments seem to be fair.

    I was just wondering out loud if anyone thought they were actually influencing events by idle forum chatter.

    I think some of the people who post in this section really believe they are!

    Our constitution provides that we have an obligation to protect democracy, here and abroad. There is a provision in the constitution that implies that we will protect any country that seeks democracy.

    The US has always sought to protect our own freedom, and the freedom of those that seek it out.

    What makes you think we want you to be sympathetic? Americans voted for Clinton twice too.. Mistakes can and do happen in the US...

    I don't believe "protecting democracy" was the reason of Iraq war. Your government failed to prove the points they have declared as the reason of war before..

    I didn't say you wanted/needed my symphathy anyway. Mistakes can and do happen everywhere actually. And by the way, I don't believe Clinton was worse than Bush.

    Really? UN Resolution 1441.. That's why. It's pretty simple really..


    Clinton was a horrible president, with a horrible foreign policy and no domestic policy, outside of over taxing people.

    Most of this damage has been undone, but other parts of it will likely haunt us for years...

    Yes I am. I've never had anything against any American in any way except for questioning some of their mistakes (that is IMO) about voting. All I had was against the government, never the people. I love American people and yes, God bless America.

    There is no perfect country, all countries make mistakes. People just seem to put America on a pedestal because of what this country has to offer. We are expected to be the exception, when in fact we aren't. Our country has greed and hate just like any other country. I will say that this country (US) does make an effort to break down the walls that restrict freedom. We do try to overcome the hate and greed.

    Like any other country, sometimes we succeed, and sometimes we fail. All i know is i live in a country, where i can at least attempt to make my dreams come true, i have the freedom to open my own business, own my own place, buy my own land, we have the opportunity to become educated and even rich and famous.

    Say what you want about the US, all i can say is it beats living in several hundred other countries i can think of.

    Glad to hear that it's working out.

    A little lesson from American History to think about. In 1864 Abraham Lincoln was more hated than George Bush. In the election of 1864, Lincoln's popularity hit a low point. The US faced draft riots, the South (slave states) was in revolt, and France and England supported the South in revolt.

    It doesn't seem that anything has changed in that time.
