Almost all of the people I come into contact with on a day-to-day basis are not Americans, although I am.  Aside from the people in my office, I know only one American.  Everyone else I know are English, Scottish, Turkish, Australian, Russian, Taiwanese, Spanish or Phillipino.\n\nEvery once in a while I meet somebody who doesn't seem to understand the fact that I am not George Bush, but it is rare.  Almost to the individual, they understand that the American people are NOT the American government.\n\nThey see our news and hear our commentaries.  Many of them are as aware of Bush's unpopularity as we are.  Few will even bring up politics with us, but when they do it seems to be with the understanding that we do not like the American government's actions either.\n\nMany people overseas are acutely aware of what it is like to live in a country where the will of the people is ignored.  This is a newer concept for us, but it is a very familiar one around the world.\n\nI wouldn't worry too much about it.  Yesterday I was talking with a Russian woman who likened our situation to life under Putin's government.  They understand tyranny and rigged elections all too well.  Now we are finding out what it's like, and I think you would be suprised how much empathy a HUMBLE American can get.

I think it exposes that most americans are jerks. (Yes, calm down, I am an American myself)

I think americans aren't so much as ignorant as they are just  out of touch with the world around them. It happens a lot here, everyone has busy lives, families to support and their own problems; it makes it kind of hard for people to stay up to date about what is going on around them. People focus more on trying to survive then on issues in the country.

Yes, all intelligent people are already aware of this. There are just too many morons out there who are too boozed up, coked up, or slobbed out in front of the TV to care.\n\nDon't expect an intelligent response in this forum, it is filled with hippies and bums.\n\nIn about 15 years, this is going to be the North American Union, and your guns and rights will be removed by the new socialist order. It's not science fiction, it's spelled out ON THE GOVERMENT'S OWN WEBSITE, YOU FOOLS!!! GO LOOK AND READ IT YOURSELF!!!!\n\nspp.GOV means GOVERNMENT. Yes, GOVERNMENT. This is not an op/ed in the NEW YORK TIMES, it's what GW Bush wants the future of America to be, just like the European Union.\n\nBut you're too coked up and boozed up to care. Go back to sleep, it will all be over soon.

The world hates Americans because they know we have a system of govt where the general population of citizens controls the govt 100%. The problem is, they don't realize how dumb and lazy us Americans are, and they actually THINK we use that authority of ours and we are telling our govt to do this. BUT, what they fail to understand is we ARE dumb and lazy and we just lie back and allow our government to do what it wants to uncontrolled.

Sounds like the US, doesn't it? \nIts accellerated since Bush stole the first election, but it got its start during the Reagan Administration, Illegal Iran Contra war, Moral Majority, and the assault on the nation's poor began under Ronnie.  I honestly believe it is going to have to get a whole lot worse before people are going wake up and respond.\n\nThe dumbing down of the population with mass media has only helped create more of an American Sheeple. \n\nWe are already there.

Yes. We may not think so but the U.S. government isn't full of ignorant fools. There are good reasons that we are there.

Is it really possible to be dumber than Bush? Looking at the posts from fat old fart and pobept, I'd have to say it is.

yeah, America is often viewed as the country filled with people who are uneducated and have no clue what is going on around them. \nI heard a comment from a comedian, he said,\n"As a whole the U.S. is a country filled with idiots, but as a whole they are genius; Russians on the other hand are all Einsteins, but as a whole you can't find a dumber group of people." \nIt's sad, but somehow true, for example, try asking an Average American what the capital of Italy is, or even France. Americans don't care about what is going n in Dafur, in fact 95% probably didn't even hear about the country. Or ask an American to place Iraq on the map... and we are at war with this country!\nThere is nothing that anyone can do about that. But the fact that we are the most individualistic country in the world has something to do with that. People just don't care, they would rather watch American Idol, then worry about what is going on in Congress. Arrogance... \n\nOne day the political arrogance and ignorance of the general population will get us into trouble...

You make a very good point. It is NOT American to hate America, however certain people think it's in vogue now. The PC, Bush is Hitler, 9/11 was inside job crowd. How can a person really believe these things and continue to live here? Why is it that everyone else on the planet can be proud of their "homeland" but us?

It's an insult to americans to assume they all hold the views of the doomsday theorists.
