Every Country Hates Us! Why the US should generally disregard world opinion

Just because "every country hates us" does not mean the US made a mistake removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq, or bankrolling the Israeli military, or keeping troops in Saudi Arabia. We should never be afraid to take just action in fear of drawing criticism from other countries. The only people that should determine our domestic or international policies work in Washington, D.C - and not Baghdad.

What would we be if they liked us?

Not over there?

[Mogollon]

If everyone hates us why does everyone want to live here?

Another 3rd world "Peoples Republic" Socialist Utopia where arrogant Leftist pseudo intellectuals self chosen "elite" dictates every aspect of the American "peasants" lives for them since the self righteous, arrogant busy body OBVIOUSLY know so much better how to live everyone else lives for them.

Oderint duum metuant.

Let then hate as long as they fear.

Yeah, we should really worry what corrupt third world dictatorships tell their people about us. Can you image this current crop of clowns in 1941? "Why do the Japanese and the Nazis hate us"?

Truth be told, if we had in the White House and Senate during WWII what we have now, you and I would be speaking Japanese or German, or both.

This is a rather ignorant statement to say about the American President responsible for more dead Muslim terrorists they all the knee jerk rabid Bush Haters EVER will be.

Did not even bother to find out the Cemetery story is another made up "Journalist's" fraud, did you? Just took it as gospel because "Well they printed it"

How many times do Conservative have to be lied to before they FINALLY wake up to the reality that the junk in their "news" papers and on their cable shows is as reliable as the crap in a supermarket tabloid?

Every Country Hates Us!

I don't belive that line. It serves the liberals well when they are out of power. The people in most countries around the world LOVE and/or RESPECT America and Americans, including China, Russia, Japan, Germany, England, Australia, Denmark, Israel, Canada, etc. This is most of the civilized world.

Governments change often, but people's opinion is more consistent. America is still the "prize" that most aspire to in one way or another.

Case closed.

I could not care less what they think, especially when I know it is all based on lies by the world media. The left world wide has done nothing but lie and bash our President and everything he does so it is no wonder we are hated. If the President got fair press or as in the case of Clinton, a media that covered up for him, then we would not have this so called problem.
