Who the F does the PNAC think they are.  Why do they think a world controlled by America is a good thing?

I agree wholeheartedly.  A theory has been stated by Nicholas von Hoffman, "Democracies are always in the right, the United States is a democracy, therefore the United States is always right.  Added to the syllogism is the belief that, since America is the best democracy, it is righter than other democracies."  (Von Hoffman is a Liberal American.)  Likewise, since America was the first to use the atomic bomb, it believes is owns the "rights" to it and energy of the such.  Personally, I think it is like we are halting the growth of a nation.  ALL human beings are allowed to progress, regardless of what the United States has to say about it.  *Of course, if Iran does indeed have intentions to build a bomb, I will eat my words.

People say "because they cant be trusted with them!", which is ridiculous. I dont expect they think we can be trusted with them either! \n\nWe are not the world police!\n\nI am sick and tired of Americas "DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO" attitude. Its incredibly patronising and shows a blatent lack of respect for other nations.....which, by the way, is exactly what spurs the terrorists on in the first place.

Hey, do you really think the US is kind old Uncle Sam ??? The US also wants its own Empire.

What is wrong is that they hide behind the First Amendment while simultaneously ripping on the country that honors it. \n\nThis is akin to someone living in an apartment for free while trashing the land lords property.\n\nIronically the same useful idiots who spew venom against the US will also have the audacity to tell you with a straight face that they LOVE America! They love it so much, they wish to embarass it on an international stage any chance they get.

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.

Just because they CAN destroy the world doesn't mean they WILL destroy the world. Let's say God came down upon you and said he would destroy the world at your command? Would you do it? NO.\n\nOkay back to the question. I think America's belief in every person is created equal and should have equal opportunities for happiness, etc, etc is going to lead to it's downfall. Have you noticed America is importing more and more thing from places such as INDIA AND CHINA? Ya know how you always see everything marked: "Made in China" Places with rising economies that pays it's workers like five cents an hour for factory work. In America the minimum wage in most states is about five DOLLARS an hour. And has anyone noticed the national dept lately? Do you think we're ever going to be able to pay it off while policing the world? To make a long story short: Eventually China is going to take over the title of world superpower.

Sir, some terrorists hate freedom. Some fight for it. What ever their objective is, any form of terrorism is plain bad as it means as the name implies - gianing ground through terror. Holland, Canada and Sweden do not help organisations such as terrorist groups in direct ways. But US does. When ever a country elects someone we do not like (like Chilie, like Nicaragua, like Cuba) we fund people to destroy that establishment and therefore denying their democratic right. We also bomb countries with leaderships that are not selling us oil. That is why Amenricans are hated by all smaaler countries. Israel - where I believe Jews do have a rightful claim to the land - we help them despite of atrocities and despite of the obvious fact that they STEAL LAND that belong to Arabs. Jews and Arabs are cousins, even according to the Bible. But to steal from one cousin to give the other...... mainly because we are bullied by Jewish lobby and we need a controlling factor in Middle East is something all US presidents will have to answer the God when their name is called to justify their actions. \n\nNow you know why we are so hated and bombed by peoples around the world. I have, for reasons of brevity, left off VietNam - where many died on both sides in the battle to stop communists from taking over. Just one question though. WHAT WERE THE COMMUNISTS TAKING OVER? Answer is IT WAS FROM FRENCH COLONIAL RULE - SOMETHING WE ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED bcoz we need to have other people exploited. No religious man with ANY rightousness shall condone imperialism - ALAS, WE THE WORLD POLICE OF FREEDOM.......... God bless America.

America wants to dominate the world with no limits!\nIt's correct about the wars in our lands that made us hate American policy, and I think no one like to have a war in his region Also you!  But we don't hate Christians or their beliefs.

Because we want to feel like we have power over the entire world...we just do it in a more politically sound way. I think that any country that wants em should have em...they are just trying to protect themselves from us. Our governments argument is that countries like Iran cannot be trusted because of the things that they have done in thier past and the way they have treated thier people...but look at our past....Where are the Native Americans again??? oh yeah and Slaves?? and Civil war...we are just Hypocrites

Because George (or his advisors) are brilliant and have brainwashed a majority of the American people to believe that they must defend themselves against the war on "terra""!\n\nThey have the American people living fear-based lives and have convinced them that their government knows what is best and that they should be left to make all the decisions.  Soon, there will be no individual rights or privacy left for the average American citizen.  (Or any other countries if the Bush administration has their way.)  World and economic domination is the primary goal of this government.  Not the good of the American people.  \n\nSounds a lot like the early church leaders manipulating the bible and church rules in order to control the masses and ruling by fear.

America has the best interests of the world in it mind. I don't know if you know this, but Iran it what's called a theocracy, where the most zealous religious leader is also the country's governmental head. This may not seem that bad, and in many cases it isn't, but given the radical sects of Islam that hold power in that country, and given their goals to eradicate America and the infidels, I can't see how anyone would support giving them the capability to conduct nuclear warfare.\n\nEDIT: Also, remember this: "Caps Lock is the cruise control to cool!"

We do not all think we are the best.  I am no better than any other man or woman.  We all bleed the same.  And lets face it, Italy is going to kick the $hit out of the US soccer team. But there are vastly huge differences in the freedoms of the USA and other countries.  The USA has many different climates.  If you don't like a certain area, you just pack up and move. That's freedom.  This country was founded by protestants, but even if you are a Satan worshiper, your rights are protected under the US Constitution.  The reason 71% of Europe hates the US is because of one A$$ Clown! Our president.  He has made terrible decisions that have made the rest of the world hate us.  As Americans we have the right to make a change by voting, and believe me, the American people will make serious changes in our government in 2008.  Just give us some time.  The American people are not out to make enemies even though our government is.  Believe me the American people are just as pissed off at Bush as the rest of the world, but one of the things that makes this country so great is the ability of the people to change our government.  By no means does this make us better than anyone else in the world. It simply means that those who have the ability to change things have a responsibility to change things.

You obviously have a very simplistic view of the world. I like it that you are idealistic and you believe that everything is good and for a good purpose but you forget that not everyone is an idealist and although you would like things to be the way you said, reality is not quite so true.\nAmerica is not the hero you would like to believe, that goes around the world helping others. Who wouldn't like to believe that? But it isn't so. Look at what you are saying, America freeing people from an overbearing oppressive regime..etc etc.. how many countries can you name in the continent of Africa where this is true? where people are murdered in relentless genocide? And what is America doing about it? Your hypothesis would be true if you could prove it for every instance. If you can't then it's just a hypothesis. America doesn't do anything out of heroism. America donates 0.1% of its GDP in world aid ranking it at # 23 amongst developed nations. There are more ways to help people around the world than by taking an army to their country and waging war. I don't see too many of those efforts. Do you?\n\nAlso, America is not a true democracy. It is more of an oligarchy, if you know the meaning of that word. Yes, you have the choice of voting people in and out of office but if you looked at history you would see for how long some people have been in the political circuit. It's like a tag team, you vote one out, another person comes in. You think they are different, but they are from the same tag team, just switched positions. Go find out how long Cheney has been in and around the White House, or Rumsfeld. Go find out how long the Bush family has been involved with the government. It's not as rosy as you think. And if you believe that the American democracy allows anyone to run for office, you should first try winning a town election.

The point of Americans is to unite the world and make everybody feel better.\n\nThe rest of the world are already uniting against them, and you only have to look at an American, or speak to one to feel morally and intellectually superior.
