I think that U.S. citizens should be highly aware that we are NOT liked worldwide.

And why is that? Care to share? How do we fix this "supposed" dislike of America?

Since World War II the primary reason Americans are not liked is presumed to be envy. On top of that you have Europeans who are predominantly liberal. [If you think OUR press is bad, you should listen to BBC and other European news broadcasts.]

The U.S.A. is liked in Eastern Europe, but it's a toss-up in Western Europe. It's been that way for years.

If you need convincing, remember that the current German leader was elected on a platform of bashing Bush. The current Spanish government won its election based on pulling out of Iraq and slamming the U.S.
