Sad to see and sad to say that the time America was needed is gone. Not that the world doesn't need that kind of spirit, it certainly does. However America as it is today does not live up to America's past.
What a great post!
First,I think the world today,wouldn't be the same,without what America has done in the past. I still think the world NEEDS America.We have to look to history,to see that without the US,The worlds dictators,and fascist rulers lust for War will spiral out of control. The real change we need,has to come from American citizens first,I believe. As a good poster once stated in a thread, "We need an Enema" in the States,and he wasn't joking. That still shouldn't be a reason to LUMP all Americans,into the BLAME. America has been waking up,yes slowly,but for the good.
Time will tell.

I can't speak for Americans, but it seems clear to me that most people hate your government's constant meddling in everyone else's affairs. America has appointed itself as policeman of the world, to promote freedom and democracy for all...but only if you have something they want. America's foreign policy is entirely self serving, and based on the pure greed of it's puppetmasters.
Peace...
Maybe,but I think the world at one time needed Americas help,and we came calling. The Axis of evil in 1939-1945 Prime example. Again,it still doesn't change the fact that Americans in general,are peaceful. Unfortunately,the ignorance spewed makes ALL Americans,guilty by association to their country.

Just because some argues against the Foriegn Policy of the US, does not mean they hate the US.
When did French Fries become Freedom Fries.

I always wonder what the implications of burning an American flag means. Is it against foreign Policy,or just outright hate for America?
I think its maybe both.
Thats where you and I disagree.

Take a breathe and reread what you write , before you hit the reply button.
If you think everyone who disagrees with you, or Foriegn Policy , will then go out and burn a flag.
You need a ATS break.

I gotta be honest, I have never come across any American hate bashing on this site. Sure, this site will bash on Washington DC and all the politicans, but no ones puts down the citizens because that would be silly. At best, people on this site have called American citizens "sheeple", but that's about it

........sounds about right.
Unfortunately,I have seen those on ATS talk about foreign policy,and spout hatred in the same sentence.

I have been clearly seeing a general distrust,and and out right hatred for anything that shares an American point of view on ATS.

Your right,Empires do come and go. That doesn't mean America HAS to,because those outside this country want it that way.
Thanks for posting,BTW

No. What you've been 'seeing' is that of how the global populace, in general, likely perceives our Government ... not US - The People, as a whole.
