In the world community? Not really, and it is hard not to blame them. Lets face facts, the last time a large country basically took over a smaller country based on propaganda lies was Germany in 1938 when they invaded Poland. Anybody want to debate whether Germany was the Bad guy then? Well, the world sees us as the bad guy now and they are not wrong. The truly sad thing is that troops are not the bad guys, the Bush Administration is. But it is the innocent that always does the dying and the Bush guys just keep on lying.

Because we live in the age of the (undeclared) American Empire, and what the US says, even if it reeks of double standard, goes. \nIf people are pissed off it's only because they are inherently evil...

It is an absolute fact that the Bush admin has lied time and time again knowingly to keep the people of the USA living in fear of a terrorist boogey man. That way they'll vote the way the GOP wants.\nWell you know what? People now know the boogeyman for what he is, a pack of lies.\nAnd tomorrow, they will send Bush a clear message about that.

1984 it is!  And most of us thought it was just a fictitious premise, but we're are seeing it played out daily.  Scary, Isn't it?\n\nI am more annoyed at the everyday American for allowing themselves to be duped in the first place and to continue to defend the charlatans in the white house and elsewhere.\n\nPlus they would be the first to say they did not support these liars when they finally have no choice but to admit the inventive administration is a major cause of most of the strive in the world.

Because the U.S. is looking out for their own self-interest.  Screw the planet!  I also suspect that a lot of the people running the country are scientifically illiterate and/or morally bankrupt.

Because not everyone in the country beleives what is spoon fed to them by the media...we aren't all conspiracy theorists and don't publicly hang people without a trial.  If there was 1 shred of evidence to any of the conspiracy theories or "Bush lied" montra, the man would not be in office, he would be in jail.  Truth matters to many Americans, but that number is dwindling.

Everyone who works in the government is reporting lies just so people will not know the truth?  \nThe same numbers that you say are claimed by the conservatives are still the same ones that were claimed by the liberals under Mr. Clintion so theirs were false as well?

Because the US is too busy trying to tell people how to live thier life. The world will never be unified until they all have the freedom they deserve.

People are too lazy to think, and it's so much easier to just believe the lies and soundbites than to take the time to find out the truth.\n\nThe other reason is that many people want to believe the lies. When President Carter spoke honestly about the condition of the country, people got angry with him. They didn't want to hear that we were in a bad situation. They preferred to listen to someone who just told them that everything was going great.

i got news for you honey. DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON TV ! Not even the news is accurate. Everything is slanted for a specific purpose. and apparently it's working on you. why don't you come on over here and we'll take some US History classes together and then talk about it.

All of these reasons plus:\n\n1) We have made asses out of ourselves in the eyes of the world.  Other countries no longer respect us due to Bush's rush to war against a country that had nothing to do with attacking us.  The world used to want to be like us... now they are just waiting for us to deplete ourselves enough so they can divide the pieces up.  (Think Dubai Port Deal).  \n\n2) How can you respect someone who gets it WRONG so much of the time?  We were wrong about WMD, we were wrong about the aftermath of the war, etc...\n\n3) Seeing that we could not even manage to rescue our own citizens after a Hurricane has pretty much exposed the paper lion for what it really is.  \n\n4) Other counties are getting more news and more TRUE news about what is really happening in the world than we are.  We only THINK we have free press.  Bush and his Neo-Cons control what you hear and now even what you say.... be careful.. .the NSA is listening!\n\nWearable Opinions! - www.cafepress.com/politicalgfx

You can look at this situation in one of three ways:\n\n1) Only liars run for office.\n2) Politicians lie because of their job.\n3) Everyone lies, but politicians are the only ones whose lives we scrutinize closely enough to notice.\n\n#1 doesn't make sense - why wouldn't there be any honest people who wanted to make a difference?\n#2 doesn't make sense, what is it about serving the public good that would make ALL of them liars?\n#3 is the only plausible solution.

A Superpower with Superfaults. The unfortunate American people, through consecutive administrations from 30+ years past until present have lost the trust and respect of the people of the world. You are now viewed with loathing and suspicion. It` is up to the people to look deeper into their elected leaders motivation`s and sort the lies from the truth. This is the only way. The American people need to awaken from their coma`s, and search for truth. American intelligence is being suppressed by three things. The Government, The Media The Education System. Each one is responsible for censoring your ability to view the world in realistic terms. I`m not wrong on this.

True.  Our government lied to us about why we were going in, and like sheeps to slaughter we believed it.  Now that we are there we can't just pull out and let whoever can grab the most power the quickest take over.  I for one apologize to those who lost loved ones because our president is a warmongering moron but can't support a full pullout of troops until the Iraqi people have a firm hold on their country (i.e. government is stable and not under dictatorship).  And no there is no honesty in the U.S. government.  We gave them power and they took it and have used it without us REALLY keeping up with what they are doing.  Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

They don't publish the truth so that they can manipulate the majority of the population. This my friend is what is called propeganda. They use the media to control how people feel about what is going on. It's really sad isn't it. No country is perfect and therefore no country has any right to tell another how it should be ran this includes the U.S. Don't get me wrong I love the U.S. but that does not mean that every other country should love it or even be governed like it. Everyone is different and that is what makes this world beautiful and interesting and the media is destroying this through diplomatic propeganda.\nI wish the truth was what we really read in the morning paper.
