In essence... America isnt arrogant. Though MANY americans are.. many arent also. America is a culmination of all those other countries as well. So if they don't like america, its kind of silly, because thats what this country is made up of, a bunch of different cultures and beliefs and ethnicities.

I'm wishing as an American for a less arrogant world.
I'm sick of feeling like the world has to approve of everything we do. I'm sick of America being subjected to such scrutiny.
I'm tired of the rest of the world trying to dictate what America should and shouldn't be doing. They want us to help everyone, but not interfere. They want us to do this, but not that.
For all the talk of the rest of the world wanting America to butt out of their affairs, I'm ready for the rest of the world to butt out of ours.
Sorry if I come across as a bit rude here, but it's how I feel right now.

Calihan, the reason we have places like Iraq and Sierra Leone is because of countries like the US/UK. And America is good at exporting war, thats why its people are all for it. When you own country has been occupide or bombed to dust war dose not seem such a good idea. But if those who control the US donm't change their ways that isolation from war may disapear

Calihan, the US has nothing to do with Iraq, oh really. Most 3rd World nations are reliant on handouts from rich Western Goverments ho then in turn extort massive amounts ofmoney back and also sell arms to these countries for them to fight wars. Whilst the people try and survive and fight starvation western banks get rich. So the US/UK and many others have alot to do with it.
As far as Iraq is concerned I would read up on Gulf War 1/2 and while your at it include Iran, Afganistan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Korea, Palestine and Somalia that should keep you going for a while, if you need any more just u2u me.
