Bottom line...It doesnt matter. In the end, the United States is the richest, and strongest country in the world. Our influence and power are felt all over the world and it will continue to be. People like you cant stand that.
Unfortunately, its keep up or get out of the way. It's narrow minded people that cant understand the concept of freedom.
This is why there is so much anti-americanism around, the US can't even see the REASONS why people dslike them. They just continue in their little propaganda bubble thinking we are OK everyone else must be wrong!
Here's a biography of the guy who wrote the article:
Fareed Zakaria is editor of Newsweek International, which has a global readership of 3.5 million and editions distributed in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Africa. He also writes a column that appears in the national edition of Newsweek, Newsweek International and, often, The Washington Post, making it one of the most widely circulated columns of its kind in the world.
He is the author of The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad (April 2003), a new book on global political trends, and From Wealth to Power, a provocative examination of America�s role on the world stage, which has been translated into several languages. He is co-editor of The American Encounter: The United States and the Making of the Modern World.
Describing him as "the most influential foreign policy adviser of his generation," Esquire named him "one of the 21 most important people of the 21st Century."
Zakaria was born in India, has a B.A. from Yale (in history) and a Ph.D. from Harvard (in international relations). In 1992, at the age of 28, Zakaria became managing editor of Foreign Affairs, the leading journal of international politics and economics�a position he held through 2000.
He recently joined the ABC television show �This Week�, where he offers political analysis and serves as a regular member of the roundtable. He also appears as an analyst on several other ABC News programs. In addition, he has been a guest on such programs as �Charlie Rose,� �Firing Line,� �The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer,� �The McLaughlin Group,� �BBC World News,� and �Meet the Press.�
Zakaria has written for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The New Yorker, and was the wine columnist for Slate. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Overseas Press Club Award, the National Press Club�s Edwin Hood Award, the Deadline Club Award for Best Columnist, and a lifetime achievement award from the South Asian Journalists Association.

Not only is he an INDIAN, he's got a B.A. from Yale, a PH.D from Harvard, and is well respected on the world stage. I'll take his incites over yours.
Anti americanism has nothing to do with BUSH. It's the very fact that we have the freedom to go to work, live where we want, worship as we see fit, go to a ball game, relax by the pool, whatever.

1 .I find it too easy for people to comment on the Cold War after they are safe from Soviet domination.
2.I find it ludicrous that anyone would claim we are empirical after the thousands of lives we have lost helping other nations maintain or gain their freedom, taking nothing with us as we left and always helping to make the battleground a better place afterward.
3.The world turned against us when we elected a president that did not see fir to kiss the arse of the U.N., and did not feel the need for us to be loved regardless of the cost. I have never seen such actions shown toward us, and I am tired of it being demanded of us.
4.Now, for the first time, we are using our forces, not to defend the lives of you in other nations, but to defend our own sons and daughters, and many of you don't like it.

Spot On, madhatter! Americans "Don't get" why the rest of the world feels the way they do, and the rest of the world "Doesn't get" what Americans are all about. Why don't we all just stop the stupid bickering and start trying to get along more?

Unfortunately, its keep up or get out of the way. It's narrow minded people that cant understand the concept of freedom. It scares them, they need government to tell them where to work, what to eat, what to buy, etc. The day will never come when you and your kind win. It's the very beliefs you have that keep you in the dark. Anti americanism has nothing to do with BUSH. It's the very fact that we have the freedom to go to work, live where we want, worship as we see fit, go to a ball game, relax by the pool, whatever. No one exploits you. YOU exploit yourselves.

The unfortunate thing about our government is this, we should just leave 3rd world countries with their rapists, murderers, zealots, suicidal crazies and worthless human waste to wallow in their own cesspool of hate.
