Fellow Americans, do you really care what the rest of the world thinks about us?

Notice you're only getting answers from people who are from the US...?  All but one who stated what another country's opinion is.  Please disregard the rest.  Now, I was stationed in Germany for about 3 years and I can say that the majority of people that I encountered had a pretty good opinion of American's.  I never really got too much of their opinion of America as a whole.  If it is of any consideration, after the war in Iraq started the Germans actually volunteered some of their troops to guard our posts over there.  Just a little enlightenment and something that the people who say "The whole world hates America after the Iraq War" might want to think about.  The biggest thing that I can mention is when we went to Holland for some training:  The Dutch still look at America as liberators.  So, that's just my opinion as some one who has actually been to other countries, not one who just criticizes my own while I'm safe in it.

i have no problem with americans, im english by the way, we are all the same, i dont care much for the bush administration especially on foreign policy but hey blair aint no better thats just politics, i judge people on who they are not where they come from, the world is only a small place and we are the same. i like the way you mention how we think americans are disrespectful i dont know about all americans but john s seems to be, not just disrespectful but ignorant also, we fought in those wars aswell john, and you were only our allies, allies that played a small part only in the war against hitler, we dont blame america for our misfortunes, we blame ourselves and colonialism where we exhausted ourselves giving the world "freedom" the same sort of "freedom" mr bush and mz rice are handing out now to the middle east, and we did that round about the same time that your ancestors john moved over to america from one of our (probably britain) nations, but anyway back to the question i dont dislike americans at all, i find myself disliking john s but thats just one american

WE as Americans, view any issue presented to us and we, some of us wait to see the reaction of other people of other countries including ours to see how they are going to react. But we are a democratic country and the people give the first priority to the president of the United, States,Maybe we might agree to his decision or not it is up to the American people to make their point of view.

We'll, I'm Australian. Personally I think the US stands for many great things but over recent times this has really been overshadowed by negatives that many US people do not seem to understand. Many seem to have a US centric world view and don't care what the rest of the world thinks, this is very negative. The US must engage and become more active in positive issues and not just hand out aid money. I think most Aussies still like Americans but try to think more global. I.E sign the Kyoto agreement and be more even handed to those that need assistance.

sukey, we are d*mned if we do and d*mned if we don't! I am all for The United States of America staying out of other countries messes. It would save us a fortune and they could all see just what things would be like without our help. Maybe they are right and they can handle it all themselves, but I sure know that we have been called on to help other many times and we get slapped in the face after it is all over. Fortunately we know what kind of country this is and what kind of people we are, so their nasty little comments don't have the affect they hope will happen. \n\nS.S.

As in all things, we Americans are self-conceited jerks.  If it doesn't happen within our shores, we seem to think it doesn't really matter.

There was a similar conversation going on within yahoo 360. I, being an American, can do nothing more than agree with you on most points. I don't know that I would go as far as to say that as a whole we are worse than Hitler, but I have mentioned to several that I work with that I feel, our President Bush is modern days version of Hitler. \n\nI think, unfortunately, that most (not all) foreigners don't realize that most (not all) Americans don't like the man either! His approval rating as of yesterday was 33%. That's pretty bad. We don't like that he seems to be a bully to others and don't like that we are as a whole viewed as believing the way he does. The argument can be made that "we" re-elected the man. I understand that, although I did not. I didn't vote for him either time. I think the general thought at the time, was that he started something we better let him finish it, since (in theory) he should know what he's doing. Ha!\n\nAs far as history is concerned. I can't argue that either. But again, like every other country that is judged, and they all are, the country as a whole does not necessarily believe the same as their leaders do. I think in the beginning they put on a good "show" and are then elected into leadership. Whom ever puts on the best show wins the "prize". It sucks.\n\nMy response in the discussion to the blog was similar to what is here. I also said that I really hope that someday people just learn to accept others for what they are and what they believe. There is no right or wrong way. There is only what people believe is best for them. That includes democracy! It might be OK for us, but not for others. Our way is not necessarily the "best" way. I just wish everyone could leave everyone else alone.

So, if you are from the other side of the world, why would you even care??

I wouldn't personally but there are many who have a closer connection with other countries.  No matter how wonderful you think the US is, there are many out there who feel the same way about other countries.

If your not American than why are you so worried. It's the American public that has to be worried, we will deal with it in our own way.
