I just listened to the BBC interview groups of people from around the
world
about why we (Americans) are the most hated race/country in the world!!

I live in the Philippines and I can see that we are hated here also;
all
they want is our money. They all hate us but the next word out of their
mouth is can you help me get to America or do you have a son that can
marry
my daughter!

Having been in the Navy during the Vietnam war, I was at Subic many times
and saw first hand the conditions that the people live in. I also visited
Manila and found it was very nice. As to why a lot of people around the
world hate America is very complicated. Some have good reasons too. The
mindset of many people though is not Christian based but is money based.
Also, there is not the understanding of how education can change things. If
you look at the founders of this country, they were for getting their kids
educated as best they could. I don't think that was true in other countries
until later years. Also, some people have superstitions that have held them
back. Dictators fear their subjects becoming Christian because the way they
control people is through fear. Take away the fear of death and you start
to lose your power. Population control is not the way to change the world,
taking the gospel to the world is the only way. Ric in Wisconsin.

Ric, yes they do and at least one reason for their hate just might be
related to -us- poking our noses into -their- business...like tinkering
with their elections, installing -our- leaders in -their- country like
the Shah of Iran. The Iranians aren't stupid. They remember that and are
still ****ed. In the late 1890s, we (the U.S.) caused 10 or 20 thousand
Filipino military deaths and 250,000 to 1,000,000 civilian deaths,
something I'm sure they weren't real happy about and I'm sure they have
not forgotten.

The mindset of many people though is not Christian based but is money
based.

I'm not sure where you are trying to go with this. A LOT of Christians
are "money based". Kenny Boy Lay and Jeff Skilling of Enron, Bernie
Ebbers, the Worldcom guy, Kozlowski of Tyco and Scrushy of HealthSouth
were all good Christians--and definitely "money based".

"A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring
one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own
pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the
mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good
government." - Thomas Jefferson
