Alot of people who have never seen war like it. Most Americans have not seen war because since 1865, there's been no military conflict in the US. \n\nSoldiers don't like war, but they have to do what they're told.

For me , i do respect americans , they are very hard workers,they made a great country in nearlly no time , they are going towards the future in a really fast spead and above all you as as people like knowledge and always asking why? when ? and where ? , etc ... and this is very important. \n\nIn islam ,there's no hate towrads any body, as a mulim i like every body ,even who do bad things to me , i should forgive them. \n\nThen why USA is hated? \ni think one of the best reasons is the Support to Israel , now and ever , even there's reasons or there's not , it's always supported no matter what it does to the palastenians.\n\n2nd reason i think, is attacking Iraq, and afganistan.\n\n3rd , it's always against any country which seeks for self protection specially with nuclear weapon, i dont understand why america is against nuclear protection in the time it has the biggest nuclear amry in the world ? and it's not a member of the anti-nuclear countries ? and it's emitting 25% of the world CO2 gas ?!! why being selfish and protecting it self with all possible ways, and always saying when anther country is trying to protect it self" They are terrorists , They MUST NOT have a nuclear weapon" \nEven if those nuclear activities are Peacful , and used to generate power ,still it is not appicable ... \n\n I hope u answer my Q , Why america wanna be the only protected country in the world , and every body else is very easy for it to be attacked?! \n\n And still i do repect americans and wish to go there to their to get better education :)

I am an American, and I don't hate the Middle East. I don't hate any country. But I can see how countries around the world would think that Americans hate their respective countries. The USA being the only remaining super power feels that it must police the rest of the world because (we) have the money and or resources to do so. This can be good...like when we stop people from killing eachother and whatnot. But more often than not (especially now that Bush is KING) we go where we are not wanted and go for the wrong reasons....giving the wonderful people of this beautiful country a bad name.

The US attacked Iraq because Bush Jr. had to finish his daddy's job. And they will not attack Iran, because the good Amrican people do not want another Vietnam!

The USA is not aggressive.  We are passive resistant.  We have, since the Revolution, never started a war and only reluctantly, entered into the ones we were in.  \n\nNO we did not start the war in Iraq.  When your neighbor is beating his wife, you do not start a fight by stopping it.\n\nI sincerely hope you all forget to vote.

You people have never heard of 'Military Industrial Complex'? War is good for the economy, so those in power (political and economic) wish to provoke war.\n\nOn deck: Iran.\nWas next, but now brushed aside, so maybe after Iran: North Korea.\nThen: Pakistan.\n\nAfter that, we will be too busy defending ourselves from the ENTIRE WORLD, who have long since grown tired of our aggression and decided to put us out of our misery.\n\nA few years back, Clinton enraged many when he stated that the US could not remain as a country for much longer (something like that) - turns out maybe he was right?

attack Iran and N. Korea at the same time and win?\n\nlike you are "winning" in Iraq?\n\n.. NEWSFLASH both the aforementioned have better equipped armies than Iraq, possibly nukes - and seeing as how the US has squandered most of its post 9-11 int'l good will, you won't have many allies..\n\nstudy your history.. too many fronts, overextended - taht's always how the Empires fall, from Genghis Khan to the Romans to Hitler to Napoleon....

The USA does not go to war because of a difference in ideology. It is because of economic and defensive strategies. The war in Iraq was as much about protecting oil reserves as it was protecting US citizens from the big bad terrorists. Every country seeks to advance its financial and political interests. The US just has more resources to do it than any other nations. It follows in a long line of historical examples where a nation has gone to war on the pretence of making a better world where the actual aim was betterment of their own nation, for example the crusades, where ultimately it was just a land grab as opposed to enlightening the world to the "joys of christianity". It is, was and always will be a major issue facing the world, as nations jostle for position in the global hierarchy.

The us is already at war with iraq and terrorism mainly. if we were to go to war with iran our problem would be multiplied by a catastrophic amount possibly leading to world war three.\n\nI also disagree with the person right before me it is a problem to every one . iran will want to use those weopons on the first person that pisses them off they are a ticking time bomb.

I think we are already at war with Iran. Who do you think is behind the majority of the insurgency in Iraq? Who has the most to gain if Iraq is not stable? Who is surrounded by Americans and deathly afraid of invasion?\n\nPick up a book called Militant Tricks: Battlefield Ruses of the Islamic Insurgent. It does a pretty good job of explaining the 36 strategms of Asian warfare. Once you understand those 36 strategms you can understand 4th generation warfare (4GW). Once you understand 4GW, you can see what is happening in Iraq and who is behind it.\n\nIt is all about deception - much more than a typical westerners understanding of deception. This deception is total and complete to the point that Sunnis will bomb Sunnis to make the dumb westerners think the Shia are doing it. They will sacrifice hundreds of fighters to give the west the illusion that a particular city is an insurgent stronghold when the real stronghold is hundreds of miles away.\n\nSome will argue 4GW is new. It is not. It is how the Afghans defeated the Soviet Union, and it is how the Iranians will defeat us in Iraq. We Americans are not used to this type of warfare, and we had better get out heads out of our fourth point of contact before it is too late.\n\n4GW is also the reason Muslims do not speak out against terrorist acts very often. It is not necessarily viewed as being wrong in Asian cultures. Yes, I said Asian and not Muslim. It is a facet of warfare mindset in Asia. Human life is not valued as much as it is here. Certain collateral losses are accepted and, indeed, expected.\n\n\nP.S. What proof do you have that the CIA gave Iran flawed nuclear bomb plans? How do you know something went wrong and the Iranians were able to use the plans to their advantage? That is some pretty classified stuff to just be throwing around on Yahoo! Answers. Either give us some sources or stop talking out of your rear end.

First, not all Americans dislike Russians. I am American and have liked the Russians I have known and find their culture and history very interesting.\n\nThe reason a great many Americans do not like Russians is that for about half of a century the citizens here were fed propaganda about Russia much the same as we are today with Iraqis. It is interesting to note how well the timing of our conflict with Iraq meets with the break-up of the CCCP and all the troops we no longer needed in Germany when The Wall came down. Not that our government would ever do something like get into conflicts that costs so many lives just so defense contractors could sell more arms... but hypothetically if we did have a government that used false reasons to go to war, they likely would have done something just like that at about the same time..

people around the world hate the united states because of its one-sided foreign policies. in iraq, bush and blair have already said that the war was a mistake. there was no weapons of mass destruction (which was the basis for the war) so it was a false declaration by bush and he lied and manipulated his allies to attack iraq. now why would civilized people listen to a ridiculus call to war? iraq is an oil rich country. i wont be surprised if the americans and british have started drilling oil in iraq. of course they wont tell you that. anyway the war was called 'OIL' for 'operation iraqi liberation'. first of all, the reason for war (weapons of mass destruction) is a false claim and the evil saddam has been captured so why in the world is the US still in iraq? that makes people angry. the scandal at abu ghraib prison makes people angry. the deaths of civilians makes people angry. the continual insurgency shows that iraqi people DO NOT want americans there. and therefore, the general frustration with a superpower that has infringed human rights and is acting like a superior bully over helpless civilians makes people angry.\nanother case, israel. many people can't stand the backing of the US towards atrocities caused by the israelies towards the palestinians. i am not arab and i do not relate to the palestinians but am i the only one to see the similarities of the jewish holocaust by hitler and the current palestinian holocaust by lets see...israel, the US and every other country that remains silent. that is why people hate the US. i am sure palestinians have caused atrocities as well but we all know that more palestinian civilians die for every israeli. and there is no justice. that is why people hate the US and its claim that israel has a 'right to defend herself' and so i say the palestinians have a right to defend themselves.\nanother issue is iran. people hate the US because it is unfair in its foreign dealings. the US deals with whoever they seem to like and not others. thats ok, but sabotaging the sovreinity  of other countries and making assumptions about them is wrong. well iran has said it hates israel n israel says it hates palestinians so its a cycle. u cant say that iran has no right to hate israel just as israel is allowed to despise and 'accidentally' slaughter palestinians. george bush's blindness to the truth is frankly frustrating. sometimes i think that if i ever got my hands on him, i'd spend a whole lifetime educating that guy. there is someone pulling his strings. the US might apparently be the most powerful nation in the world but someone else is pulling the strings of the puppet president bush.\nyou should read this book 'the protocols of the elders of zion' it will give an insight into a different world for you.\ni am not against the jewish people but against corrupt politicians who are doing things wrongly. that is why i hate bush. not the american people, not liberal jews, but the reigning one-sided political situation prevalent in this increasingly ignorant and uncivilized world.

Americans are Americans...they always think theyre right and that the world revolves around them...How could you guys talk about bravery and courage when you guys know for a fact that the war is based on a lie.!!!????...and that there wernt any weapons of mass distruction???..Like the girl said saddam wasnt an angel but they sure had better lives with him they went to school they had jobs,,,,and they were much safer...i mean look at them now they cant even step a foot outside with ...out fearing death...and i did live in the US and i know what kind of people join the army??...only loosers who cant succeed in anything join it...but we all know what america and bush want...they .barge in iraq...claiming there going to bring back peace and freedom (my A$$) while they are realliy just enjoying killing, raping, and destorying places..and lets not forget about the free oil....I mean what is wrong with you guys,,,did you guys forget about haditha and abu ghareeb???????????????????? and why do you keep saying that muslims keep blowing thwmselves up..as if it is wrong..,.,,,they only do that because thats there only way to defend and fight back,.,..what do you guys expect them to do...sit and what while people are murdered??/? i mean compared to the multi million dollar weapons you guys have a guy blowing himself up isnt that big of a deal.... that really show how brave they are and willing to fight for there country...let me see one of you wimps just jump out of that big armoured trucks for a minute???(as if you can))....i really wish and pray that you guys go back home with your heads down,,,,!!!

I agree with you completly. Our Gov't is ready for war whenever. It is just ridiculous that they are tying to start stuff with the USA. I mean just look at us in Iraq, they don't let us inspect their country for nukes and we attack. Iran is pratically starting a war with us and I bet you that we will attack them before the next presidential election.

Why are Americans so violent?\n\nWe drop bombs whereever we please. We have killed tens of thousands of Iraqis. I think we are the most violent people on the planet.

My answer is not going to be liked but.......Americans are self absorbed and greedy. They are a fast food, drive through pharmacy, no time to breath culture that has no respect for anything that does not prersonally effect them. They refuse to see the rest of the worlds struggles. Yes I am American but wow, how this country has gotten this way I don't know. When the bombing happend in England, I heard people say..."that was no 9-11 though" Absolutely ridiculous, death is death and struggle is struggle. There have been terroristic holy wars for decades that people refuse to see unless it is in their back yards. My opinion, agree or not.
