hmmm I don't know about hating America because "They're just jealous!!" it might be because they don't like having people starting wars that can be avoided for bogus reasons. I myself don't particularly care for that aspect of America.
tulc(just a thought)
I'm a neolibertarian and a dues-paying member of the Libertarian Party. I wouldn't characterize myself as a McCain supporter or a Republican, though at this point I'd probably vote for him over Obama.Which ones, specifically? I've had a hard time finding McCain supporters who actually want to discuss the issues. The only one anyone has offered is abortion, which doesn't make sense to me, since McCain has already said he's not going to try and overturn Roe vs Wade.
i don't think there is any large group of people that hate America for that reason.
-We attacked Serbia/Kosovo- the people of Kosovo do not hate the US.
-We attacked Iraq and Afghanistan - the people of those countries do not hate the US.
People of France, Germany and other failing European states hate the US- when we have not attacked them. They hate us for our cold war military bases there. For them, it is a reminder of dependence- a dependence they are resentful for.
I'm assuming you mean rhetoric, and, again where would the facts be? You have proof we are more loved there then other countries? And it's because they are doing better financially? And as proof you offer...opinion?When you look at states like Australia, England, Ireland and others, where they are doing well economically, there isn't the same hateful rhetorical widespread among their politicians.
...I'm trying to think of anther way of saying "again all you have here is opinion, not proof." but I can't seem to think of one.Same goes for the Arab states, like Kuwait, Dubai and other wealthy places. But in places where they are doing poorly- you find increased hatred towards Israel and the United States. These are popular distractions for their leaders and politicians.
When you ask anti-Americans what their problem is- it always has something to do with power. "Bossing around the world"... etc. But they can't dig any deeper than that. It is an indicator of their resentment over the power and wealth of the United States. We have consistently gone along with the world in dealing with problems. We didn't want to go into Kosovo- that was Europe's idea. The same goes with the Gulf War.
uhmmm 9/11, I understand attacking Afghanistan, it gets a little unclear why we're in Iraq. Be that as it may, you are (again) offering your opinion why other countries are doing things and not a shred of proof. You may be right, you could also be completely wrong. But again it is simply your opinions being offered instead of proof. Don't agree? That, like your opinions is your right.Then, after spending the 90s playing appeasement to the Arabs- we finally got attacked on 9/11. The world mosstly went along with going after the terrorists. But when we wanted to do something about actually stopping it- by being aggressive towards Syria, Iran, Libya, Iraq and others- the world (Europe) want no matter in it. They wanted to continue to look the other way. We came to find out later how much certain states like France were involved in Iraq (food for oil scandal). Their national interests were in mind, as the Middle-East was their oil supply (ours is primarily in the Americas).

Ohhhhh.My opinions are based on facts- others are based on what people would like to believe.
1. Improving America's image abroad.
2. Ending the War in Iraq.
3. Refocusing on, finishing, and winning the war on terror in Afganistan.
4. Ending abuses of Executive power.
5. Stopping the torture of "enemy combatants" at Gitmo.
6. Appointing progressive judges.
7. Fighting climate change.
8. Rebuking No Child Left Behind.
9. Restraining big Oil and Pharmaceutical Companies.
10. Ending tax cuts for the rich and giving bigger tax cuts to the middle class.
These are just ten reasons that came to the top of my head. Do you want more reasons?
What the media isn't reporting was the concert that was going on before Obama's speech, which is what gathered the crowds.
The level of media bias for this guy is astounding.
Why would a foreign citizen want a candidate unless they were going to be detrimental to us? It's simple logic, simple reason.
People of France, Germany and other failing European states hate the US- when we have not attacked them. They hate us for our cold war military bases there. For them, it is a reminder of dependence- a dependence they are resentful for.
I don't think you know much about the world outside the US.
I think that unfortunately describes most Americans I know.The USA don't have any bases in France and in Germany, most people lament the USA's decision to close bases and to transfer troops to other countries as a sign of the growing alienation between our countries that has devastated the communities that have grown around those bases in the past 50 years.
