many ppl feel the same towards the US, as the US feel towards Iraq. Well ok, not exactly, but I mean some ppl feel the US is as great a threat as Iraq is to their lives/country - not talking about what is/isn't happening in Iraq. I do not think the US is as horrid as Iraq, but like I posted above, who am i to judge?

Many people around the world feel that the U.S. has grown too strong. Maybe that one day the U.S. will say screw it and start invading other countries for the hell of it. I seriously doubt that would happen but I could see how some might feel that way. But at the same time, they don't stop to look at the billions of dollars the U.S. gov't dishes out each year to many countries around the world for aid and other related expenses.
I say the U.S. should just stop policing the world, just stick to our country and let everyone else fend for themselves. I wonder how long it would be before someone would intervene and ask the United States for assistance. I bet it wouldn't be long. Why? Because many people feel that the U.S. is the only country capable of giving the assistance that many countries need or desire. And IMO, just being an American and all, we have been pretty generous....
(
edited to add) generous to the point where sometimes I feel our country gives aid to other countries prior to improving conditions in our own counrty. (Better education, finding our unemployed jobs, aiding our homeless, cleaning up our cities, etc.)
Our gov't and country may not be perfect, not by any means. But in recent events, everything good that our country has done has been overshadowed....
