Don't get me wrong, I think bin Ladin should get his balls cut, but let's not be naive to think that our government are loved and respected by the rest of the world.

This..I will give you, a lot of countries in the world scorn America and it's government..but...it's not just because of our military advancements. It's because of American Capitalism. Face it, we are one of the richest countries in the world. Americans are for the most part, arrogant, lazy, and desensitized to foreign policies (notice i said most...a majority..not all)
Second, a lot of gov'ts scorn the U.S. for being a "police force" so to speak. Yet, when it's time to help their respective country..they are all for it. Yes, they will take our money, they will take our supplies, they will take our food, adn when we are gone, all that we get are cursed remarks and debts that will never be paid.
Let's take for instance the events of WWII...events that nearly broke almost every coutry in Europe..notice i said nearly...why not surely? BECAUSE..the U.S. gov't was there to help, aiding with supplies, food, and loans, yes..loans....huge huge loans...Hell the U.S. gov't helped the French gov't from going under after being controlled by Nazi Germany for so long. Now..for the most part...we are scorned by the French..not always..but..there is hatred against Americans...not to mention..no country ever paid back those loans to the U.S...hell, they didn't even pay the interest that has accumulated on those loans. So, our gov't had to take a hit and suck up their pride.
Bah...
