Do you think anti-americanis... is getting stronger?

I believe it is. America is the richest, most successful country the world has ever known. Everyone envies our freedom and way of life. Every third-world country that doesn't understand the value of life, or the contribution that the individual can make, given the freedom to do it, hates our way of life. That's why all of the oil money in the middle east si so scary. Here are people that are barely out of the stone age, with enough money to purchase whatever they want. Including nuclear weapons. \nI think America, and other like-minded democracies around the world are the only salvation for this world. They have the power, and the STABILITY to keep the nut jobs from blowing us all up!

I don't know. They haven't involved in military activities since WW2 until recently. But I think we can give them a chance, besides do you think we can fully trust USA? It's a good way to make a balance of power (without having a cold war).

They have  been lulling America into a false sense of security for hundreds of years. I know that they are going to invade us and take back Boston. They might be digging a tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean. They is why its taking them so long. Any day now they will emerge from the subway stations in Boston and begin processing the people there. Ive been preparing for years. Ive got a basement full of ammunition, food, water, and beer. Ill be ready to lead the resistance when those dirty Brits begin their reign of terror.

What a great question!!\n\nOn the one hand, I think Americans have grown pretty cynical about the possibilities of change.  The system that has developed here is very adept at either co-opting real discontent or ignoring it -- take for example the huge protests before the invasion of Iraq.  Our government here doesn't try to repress or crush the opposition, it simply pretends that it's not there.  (Though some of us are beginning to wonder just how long that approach is going to last!)\n\nOn the other hand, most Americans are also aware, maybe only subconsciously, that they've got things pretty cushy, and rocking the boat could endanger their comfort.  I mean, hey, you got your ample supply of alcohol, your 500 channels of video-on-demand, and your vibrating armchair -- why would you want to revolt?

Yes,  We as Americans should be very concerned about world opinion.  My girlfriend went on a vacation to Australia not long after we met.  She noticed a little hostility from some of the people from other countries that were in their group.  These ultra conservative "cowboy" extremest are giving us a very bad image around the world.  I stumbled across a website for a German band .........  I think it was Ram-stein but I'm not sure.  I was shocked and appalled at all the anti U.S. statements. \n      I once got into a discussion at a bar with a girl from Czechoslovakia she told me that Americans in general were uninformed and often deceived by our media.   We are the most powerful country in the world right now our problems are the worlds problems and visa verse.  We as Americans have a responsibility to know whats going on in the world (not just what FOX news tells us) and act accordingly.

Yes. Good point.\n\nThis country needed this breath of fresh air badly.\nThank goodness Americans saw through the scare tatics of the far right!

By itself yes, but check my answers and others, it goes way beyond that.  On this issue I don't believe our leaders are protecting Americans as much as an illegal community and colonizers.

We are seeing them implode now. I am just wonderng what crazy thing they will try to do next in their frantic attempts to hold on to power.   i am thinking the Neocons are deeply wounded but the remain capable of still doing harm. \n\nAlready they are not above lying, stealing, threats of intimidation and bullying ...not to mention the cause of the deaths of many thousands of innocent people in other parts of the world. \n\nThis Neocon/Reug hybrid is still dangerous - but most Americans are tired of them.  I can't call an election this far out..especially with Diebold lying in wait.

That's good to hear, enough countries hate us already and to be honest, i dont ever think to myself " who doesnt like America" i instead think "who does like American". We are really hated thanks to our government when really Americans themselves (most) are very nice family people.

United States citizens have become very passive and unwilling to fight any type of authority. \nAmericans would never "rise up" against the government no matter what it decided to do. \nWe have become lazy and complacent.\n\nFor those of you who have given me thumbs down, do you REALLY think that if armed soldiers went door to door and declared a police state that a nation of white collar workers and soccer moms who are scared to fight a traffic ticket would rise up to do battle??? GET REAL!

Absolutly being invaded.  We have illegal immigrants from all over the world......but only 1 group who is burning our flag, trying to change our language, talking of "reclaiming" their land.  Only one group demanding rights for "their" people that our own citizens don't have.  One group that has systematicly planned and infiltrated our government with interests for "their" people.  One group who is anti-angelo and English.  There's not one peep from anyone else.  The Polish don't have special interest groups crying "racism" when they are being deported.  We import and are way to dependant on China, but you don't see the Chinese flag flying over an upside-down American flag because we are dependant on them now.  We have American students under fire for not agreeing with Bush, but yet there's Latino college professors teaching about overthrowing our country and killing the white American and nothing is done.  There's one group "LaRazza" that feel "the race", "their" race is the dominate one.  No....the sob stories don't cut it.  Poor just wanting to work doesn't cut it either.  I agree all Latinos aren't a part of this anymore than all whites went with the KKK or all Germans went with Hitlers views.  But it doesn't take 100% participation for the damage to be done.  It takes a dynamic person and a bunch of radical followers ,in which there seem to be plenty.  All beleiving they are fully justified in their hate for something that happened ions ago.  I just wish these people would stand up and stop hiding behind their mamas skirts and using Illegal immigration and bilingual education which means "must speak Spanish", and "racism".  Yes....there is an invasion going on and a problem with illegal immigration and national security and too much power in business and a host of seperate issues in the midst of obvious problems.\n\nThe other thing to note....if it was just the mythical Atzlan they were trying to reconquor.....it's done.  But they are in Chicago, New York and all states that have high electoral votes.  All sanctuary cities.  It's been street by street, town by town,  it's just "too" planned.  See what big businesses back it and what politicians they back.  It is far from just wanting a job and the rest.  Here in Chicago there are thousands and thousands of homeless.  There is no job here that an American won't do.  But there's a huge population of Latino legal and illegal immigrants.  The latino politicians aren't supporting the law or fighting poverty of anyone other than Latino.  They aren't fighting for bi-lingual Polish-English education where there are more Polish immigrants.  Or Chinese or Arabic.  Only Spanish.  Just doesn't wash.

They don't hate America.  They only loath the US foreign policy and some arrogant Americans.  Besides, don't generalize.  The individuals who come here are not necessarily the ones who screamed "Down with America".  Maybe it's their neighbors.  Go ask them to be sure.

Violence towards these ppl is only going to fuel more violence.\n\nIf that is not evident by now to you and others, then I don't know how much more evidence you need.\n\nThe only way to tackle the anti-American terrorism dilemma is through some major diplomacy but mostly, through incentives.\n\nTake Palestine as an example... Palestine is impoverished, ppl are starving, etc... sanctions have resulted in this. Now ask yourself, they know they could get our aid if they just do what we say but is that making them listen to us? NO.\n\nAll that is doing is making them hate us more.\n\nInstead of bullying these extremists that will die starving before they will be 'owned', how about using the funds we put into the military on incentives for them to build their infrastructure.\n\nThink about it... if we helped Palestine build it's infrastructure and economy, would they not be grateful? Yes they would. Of course some would always fight.. but after a generation or two, you can't tell me their children wouldn't remember and start to question anti-American sentiment.\n\nThat is just one example but you the idea.

Hmm America is strongest and most powerful country in the world And it is nation of immigrants. So it is highly unlikely that immigrants are distroying a country.\n Rather they make it better :-)

I hope not.  The liberals are getting worse about disrespecting anything that we as Americans used to believe in, including our soldiers and veterans.

I believe they are behind much of it, yes. Usama Bin Laden made the statement years ago that the US does not have the stomach for this fight. If certain domestic factions have their way, he will be proven right.

No, they aren't...but their economy continues to grow at an alarming rate.  They are attaining wealth and power rather too quickly for the likings of the United States.
