Not a country yet... But in KOSOVO they LOVE America (and Clinton) Because they bombarded Serbia, and thus helped them towards Independence.\n\nKUWAITies like America too. Why? USA liberated them.

The real deal with us British who some over the pond label as "anti-American" is not that we are against the American people as such. What I, as an "anti-American" dislike is the policies of successive USA governments. As individuals, almost all the Americans I have ever come in contact with, have been brilliant - good company and very hospitable. Good people in every way. Its just a pity that such good people never seem to get the kind of government they deserve.

I say it is the best from my own personal experiences in other countries, what I have heard from friends and family and what knowledge I have of our political system and those of other countries.  I have a cousin living in Ireland right now and he loves it, but still prefers America.  I can only base my decision on what I know.

America is not the best country in the free world (or any other world).\n\n1.  America traps millions of its own citizens in poverty.\n2.  America denies basic health care to millions of its own citizens.\n3.  America is ruled by a president who became president by means of fraud.\n4.  America's economy is dragged down by the nation's militarism.\n5.  America's primary and secondary school system was created by big business for the purpose of generating conformity, and it works.\n6.  America supports genocide committed by other countries who are friendly towards western big business.\n7.  America ignores genocide committed by people who 'don't matter' against people who 'don't matter.'\n8.  America has repeatedly interfered in the affairs of other sovereign nations, generally for the purposes of making itself wealthier and improving its ability to control the world.\n9.  America's mass media is run by big business and is therefore afraid to explore unpleasant truths (see numbers 1 to 8).\n\nShall I go on?  Sure, why not...\n\n10.  America drops bombs on children.\n11.  American snipers shoot children.\n12.  American foreign policy starves children.\n13.  American foreign policy leaves sick children to die.\n14.  America destroyed Nicaragua.\n15.  America has now destroyed Iraq.\n16.  America is friends with Saudi Arabia.\n17.  America looks the other way regarding human rights abuses in China.\n\nWow, this is getting tiring.\n\n18.  American electoral politics is entirely dominated by two parties who disagree on almost nothing of substance.\n19.  American electoral politics is the preserve of rich people.\n20.  America is a racist nation (see number 1, for starters).\n21.  American big cities have murder rates higher than anywhere else in the 'free' world.\n22.  America is destroying its middle class.\n\nAnd finally, because I have to stop sometime...\n\n23.  Americans habitually deny the truth about America.\n\n(PS  I sound like an ideologue, I know, but I am genuinely open to any of the statements above being shown to be false.)

America is the most beautiful country i think, in the world. Good government, good land, good structure. But unfortunately most of the people i don't like. No-one friendly, bush-haters, Jesus-haters, and a million more. Nobody will say "hi" or wave any more. They make fun of people they don't like and envy. People get so offended, no more holidays on calenders, "my holiday is not on there." etc. i have seen so many smart-Alick answers on here. nobody will be NICE anymore. It bothers me. and not to mention the cussing. I am equally disappointed.

I must preface what I have to say just a bit...I love America, and what I say here is not a reflection on ALL Americans, but how we have gotten the reputation that we have!           I have traveled extensively and it is true Americans are VERY disliked! It because of a few different reasons. One being entitlement. Most American think they are due the best and fastest service, that they are entitled to tell other people how to live and what to believe. We are a nation that is very spoiled and really has no grasp on other peoples lives. Americans...I hate to say are a complacent people also, which leads to mis-understanding from other cultural groups. Finally there is our President...I think from what you wrote above I need not expound on this issue. Yes Americans ARE very dis-liked, but this is not all together unfounded.

America may have it's imperfection but there is no other country I would live.  We can agree to disagree for starters. We don't have to worry about being tortured or killed because we don't always agree with what our country is doing.  Women do not get abused and can go to college and can speak their minds without having to worry about being killed.  Sure we have problems but I think when we have to come together for a common cause we do it.  I would not want to live any where but here and I've been around to other countries and I'm always happy to be an American. I'm happy at times my government does not always agree because I know I don't have to worry about being ruled by some crazy dictator.

Until 4 years ago, my opinion of Americans was Rude, Loud, Arrogant, Inconsiderate. When I went to Mexico, this was justified.\n\n3 years ago, I visited Upstate New York, and my opinion changed, I have met a lot of good people, not many of them are rude and arrogant, in fact, very few.\n\nOriginally being from England, I have learnt a lot about American upbringing since I have been here. \n\nThere are US flags everywhere, people are proud to be American. \n\nChildren are taught the national anthem at a young age, they are proud, and their nation makes them feel proud.\n\nThey are taught that America is the best country in the world, the Land of the Free.\n\n70% of Americans do not hold a passport, or have never left the continental US. They have never compared their country to another civilised country, so are naive in that respect, and they tend to regard other countries as less civilised, and inferior.\n\nGenerally, they are good people! I live here now, so they can't be that bad!

Because we are the land of opportunity and freedom. Despite what we may or may not feel or agree on about America...compared to many places, it's a wonderful place to live and to follow your dreams..because you can.

America because it is the land of the free.

Being from England I'll just let you run yourselves down.\nSeriously though, I like America. Here in the UK some would say we have the same problems as you do. You are a larger Country, have proportionately more people and have proportionately more of the worlds dislike heaped on you.\nSorry.

I have no idea.  i am a American, and i live in England, and everyone has their little opinion on America and its so annoying, people think they're experts on America, and they've never even been there.  If I was to talk bad about a third world country people would think i was rude and stuck-up, but for some reason people from other countries think they can sat whatever they want about my country.  I have met Africans from really bad countries and they have the audacity to talk about America and how violent it is, when they live in country that is at war or is far more violent than America.  I think alot of them are jealous and wish they could live in the most powerful country in the world.

America is a country that just takes your breath away with it's beauty, It's a nation that you feel free and safe, And it's a nation that I'd be proud to die for, so my children and their children will always be free.

Great is so vague and it depends on your preception of the word.  There are pros and cons to many countries, but I believe statistically, you will find that Norway and Switzerland come out on top as some of the 'greatest' countries in the world.  That is because they were rated on various positive attributes such as pollution level, crime, education, wealth, economy, healthcare, unemployment rate etc.  These are general quality of life type criteria.  Although there are some places in the US that receive high marks, the country in general, does not rank as highly.  Mostly because of the high crime, high pollution, healthcare system, etc.  So, I would guess that most people who say 'USA' immediately, have probably never traveled much outside of their country to look at it more objectively.
