First comment. Capitalize USA from now on, or pay dearly. As far as your post: All countries look out for number one. America was not ever a imperialistic nation. We were just lacing up our boots when the European powers trampled Africa, Asia, and most of the known world and established colonies. Yes, America has entered into failed policies in many of these countries. But the policies we have established have been largely partnership based. Yes, we want something in return, but we are not colonizing, and in most cases, have paid dearly to prop up the partnership. For the overwhelming vast majority of these countries, they have benefited both economically and socially through dealing with the USA much more than the benefit America received. You have never heard of America invading another country, stripping its wealth, and embarking on a genocidal program. Yet, these countries that hate us have been doing this to anyone they can conquer. Which is largely the other peanut nations which hate us. America is one of the most morally astute countries in the world, regardless of what you see on prime time sit-coms. Ever see European or Oriental television, hoo boy? What about the exploding AIDS epidemic in Africa and Moslem countries (you don't catch it from shaking hands or drinking out of the same river)? Fact is, these people want to see America fail for three reasons, ranked from least to most:
1) A tribal mentality: We must kill all others around so there is more for us;
2) A crusade: America is prodominently Christian, therefore we Moslems must conquer and convert; and most importantly,
3) It's not fair: Classic case of the "have nots" hating the "haves", reguardless of how hard the "haves" worked to earn what is theirs.
Open your eyes Richard, think for yourself, stop riding the tailcoats of the loud mouthed, underinformed, traitorous naysayers who are barking for attention.
