Hmmm – so pollution, repressive dictatorial government, horrendous human right abuses and the illegal occupation of Tibet don't enter into it, then.

And people wonder why I dislike the USA: "the rest of the world as long as we're OK!" What a selfish, small-minded, myopic world view you people have.

Sorry nixgeek, but*it's something I feel strongly about! As a proponent of world peace and brotherhood, I dislike any country, government or people – including Britain – that acts purely out of self-interest and without consideration for others.

I think you would find this doesn't represent most Americans, except maybe Bush and Cheney.

I have always prided myself that I don't judge people purely by their nationality, so I have nothing at all against the average "Yank-on-the-street" – except the A-holes that voted for aforementioned Bush & Cheney. But any nation that can spawn such a horror as Donald Rumsfeld ought to feel collectively deeply ashamed of itself!

I'm making lots of new friends here, aren't I?

I am proud to be an American and vet. The situation I see is just because Bush is President (we all know how much he has screwed up)it seems now fashionable to "hate" America. You know you would be VERY surprised that the dreaded American conservatives want Bush gone too.
