I think the general view of America and Americans by many non-Americans is
that of a nation full of (or least run by) selfish, arrogant people. I
wonder why?


Maybe because - they are more like hard working, sacrificing, individualists,
taking charge because (still) government limiting power or dictator doesn't
punish them for succeesing (it does with taxes)?
Sure, the lazy ba$tards envy those who work, achieve and have.

What other country has helped so many in case of disasters and wars? Selfish,
arrogant people?

Why there are so many people trying to immigrate to US? To learn to be selfish?

What do you expect Americans to do after their prime city was attacked by their
own planes and 3000 people killed? Sit in the White House and be served by
intern?

Looks like too much BS distorted propaganda is out there. Come over here and
see with own eyes!

The population of the USA is approximately 5 times the population of France.
The 14,000 deaths there would be equivalent of approximately 70,000 in the USA.
Makes one wonder about the capabilities of the government to aid its people in
times of distress.

The problem as I see it is that our troops are dying for *nothing.*
Sure it's always nice to see an evil dictator get his arse kicked, but
that wasn't the stated reason for this war and there are plenty of
other evil dictators around the world who won't be dealt with at all.
Our people have been killed and continue to be killed over an
outrageous *lie* - that's the really unforgivable thing about this
whole disastrous affair.

What worries me is that in almost every country people are getting more
and
more anti-american.

Probably JEALOUSY, because America has a set of NUTS and is willing to
finally
go start doing something about this terroism crap... just like one time the
nations
of the world had to stand up to fight authoritarianism, now the enemy is
terrorism.

The gutless, whimpering social-hell nations of europe forgot that a policy
of appeasement
doesn't work and thinks that if they cow down and lick enough extreme
islamic
fundamentalist's boots, they'll start "being nice and quit blowing thier
people up".
Meanwhile more bombs in subways, more carbombs in innocent neighborhoods.

Cowardly nations of europe- GO ahead, keep burying your HEADS in the sand.
We're doing something about it now.

If you want to be a bunch of weak pansies, just stay out of our way and
we'll take
care of it.
