The mind set that you're criticizing actually has a historical term called American Exceptionalism.  It roots all the way back to the beginning of the USA and it is the belief that America is truly unique and special in the world.  Americans operate off this assumption that is ingrained in them from birth that says America is superior.  It's naturally for someone to have pride in their country, but unfortunately, most of us Americans take it to a an extreme level.  This is why the Bush administration thinks that it's O.K. for America to ignore the Kyoto Protocols and that the Geneva Conventions don't apply to them.  And thus your problem, Americans on Yahoo are so ignorant that they just assume that well of course everyone on yahoo is an American.  It's an American company in English!  And they would be surprised to know that people from around the world use Yahoo.  I think you are right to take offense at Americans who do believe that the USA is everything and I agree that they are wrong.  One of the answers to the problem and what allowed me to see it in myself was to travel abroad.  And I don't mean go be a Ugly American tourist, but I went to Brasil and actually staying in someones house for two weeks and experienced what life is like for them and it forced me to realize that the American way of doing things is not the best and that the USA is really only a small part of the world.

The United States must abide by laws that govern such things as international trade and human rights.  The United States, as is with every other nation, is not required to abide by the edicts passed by the United Nations.  \n\nIf they elect not to abide by a law that it feels is unfair or against the United States' interests they can refuse to uphold that law.  The consequences could include cooled relationships with other countries, embargos and even U N sanctioned war.

HELL NO!  America is tending to interfere in other countrys matters far too much. They should realise by now that the second world war ended in 1945 with the unification of italy. The two super powers were usa and Russia. Russia got over it that times change but its just that usa is still stuck on the whole "super power of the world" thing. What happens in iraq and the middle east is their concern and they will sort it out their way usa has no right to interfere. usa has oil reserves that it can use but it wants to use the oil in the middle east that belongs to them but then kinda mysteriously got under iraq. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Because this country just can't seem to keep it's nose out of other countries affairs .  It thinks every other country should be just like it. Not all countries want to be like the U.s and the sooner the USA realizes that the better

USA & Israel are one power in two countries!\nThey don't want any power except them.\nIran and too many times has told the world that they don't want the nuclear factories for weapons or war, but for other peaceful things such as electric generation.\nReferring to what Mr. “devilmoor86” said I want to tell that nobody will threaten USA and nobody wants to kill USA’s people, I think U.S.A is killing people in Iraq & other countries… why? Of course not for peace!! For Oil & other economical resources.\nNote: also I want to tell that too many Americans are dieing in Iraq, why??!!\nWhy war?\nWhy killing human?\n{answer me & win points ;)}

I don't understand why other countries don't meddle in US affairs - get the drift? You are asking for more chaos. Who regulates the US then? Should the whole world be subject to the whims of one government whether right or wrong?

Why narrow the discussion down to Iraq and Viet Nam? The problem is that we have neglected "soft" power in favor or the "hard" power of military and economic might. 40 years ago, many young people in the Muslim world would have met Americans, have worked with Americans, possibly even been to America. We had exchange programs with other nations -- we exchanged high school students, musical orchestras, doctors and nurses, sports teams, technical experts -- so that there would be better understanding between peoples of different nations and cultures. In that world, there were people who could stand up the extreme clerics and say "I have worked with Americans and they're good people. What you are saying is incorrect!" \n\nIN this current climate of ignorance, most Muslims in developing nations have very wrong ideas about our nation and our people. One example is the widespread belief that the CIA has near magical powers; that is why iraqis are so angry that the sewer and electric doesn't get fixed overnight. They KNOW we can, and just WON'T.\n\nAnother is the belief that all Americans are rich. We need to bring people from all over the world here to live for a year so they can tell their neighbors back home that we have second hand stores and shanty towns too. And so we can learn about them and their country.

I think the change in balance of power is a problem and the rest of the world either hates the U. S. or they fear us and neither is really good for the world and while I am an American, I do realize that we all occupy the planet and we all need to get along, not out of fear but out of respect.

Simple propaganda is my opinion along with jealousy.  WE are a generous nation and the world is so very Lucky that the USA has been the Superpower for so many years.  Sometimes I think the world wants us to stop evil but not to many other nations want to help so we look like were are med ling.  If we don't help, we're "ignoring the pain and suffering of others".  It's a catch 22 really.  I simply wish other countries would not just "back us" (a lot of our allies) but actually, physically HELP out!!

The power had to shift eventually!The U.S.has been running things for about 2 hundred years.Those other nations are acient,1000's of years old .So they don't like being pushed by an infant nation!But we can compete if we start putting more money into education,in small businesses,and start producing products that will out compete their competitors in the global market.

I guess it comes from people being hypocrites.Have you ever noticed people in the Middle East are always mad at the U.S. for meddling in their affairs but when they need help who is the first country they turn to.The U.S.!\nBTW I'm Canadian.I don't think Americans are "evil",some of their foreign policies are misguided though.

it is because of the following.\n\n1. AMERICA thinks that they own the world\n2. They have the money and they ABUSE it\n3. They are miserable and AFRAID\n\nWell before you judge me of my answers let me explain\nTo let you know I live in Asia, the Philippines.\nAmerica thinks they own the world... -> This is true, you can se this on TV, hear it on radios.. America doing business all over the world. I mean it is not bad but because they are in the pinnacle of power they abuse it. they think they know each country, each culture. they think they are superior because they are first world, they're democratic and they are rich. But it is not all about the money or the power. Each country has its culture and its people. I can tell you that democracy is not always the best option of government. \n\nAmerica is also afraid that over the course of time, these regimes or budding power will destroy them. So what do they do?, they take actions while a growing country is still young and take them on their necks.\n\nSAD to say but its true. How you can prove it?, take away the comforts that you are in now, visit a third world country (like the Philippines, Cuba, Africa), live it, feel the culture the people and know firsthand how AMERICA destroys.

Yeah, but we're the richest and most powerful country in the world, so the rules don't REALLY apply when they're not convienent, do they?  We're not worried about being MORAL, just as long as we can wage unilateral war to make OTHERS moral.\n\nWe're America, we don't have to worry about being hypocrites.

Well I personally wouldn't know! As I have grown up all my life in Australia. But seeing the media in the US has really shown how the obesse is treated, unfairly and horrible. Its something which we should all accept each person in this world for. I would have thought the UK would have also been treated this way, due to having a almost same average of obessity in this world. So I believe the US is treated without respect, even though I have never seen in first hand. Just through so many issues, movies and etc.

It is standard operating procedure to vilify anyone who opposes you. But since you have to argue for the other side, try saying it is a necessary label because these countries threaten the very freedom the country is founded on.

the question is why is it that the US can do anything while the others need to have their permission beforehand...
