'Over there'

[Andromeda18_]

The problem is the entire world doesn't see America with very good eyes right now, especially middle-eastern countries. That happens because you're nosy, you meddle in other countries' business and people don't like that. I've mentioned before, in another thread, that some months after the 11th of September I watched a tv show where New Yorkers said they had to watch European tv channels in order to find out what was really going on in the world. They also said that at first they didn't understand why America had been attacked but that now they understood, they knew it happened for a reason. The image the world has of America is that of a country of conceited people who think they're the best in the world and who think it's their destiny to spread democracy across the world. Obviously people don't like that and the war in Iraq only made things worse. I personally know there are a lot of good people in America, like you guys, but the truth is pretty much the whole world is against you and that's all due to your government's actions. And let's face it, people weren't so mad at America when Bill Clinton was president!
