Do you think anti-americanism is getting stronger?

Definately!  YOu can always tell how hated the USA is by how much their closest allies and trading partners hate them.\n\nCanada is their biggest trading partner.  In canada, a recent poll showed that 78% of Canadians believe Bush is a terrorist.

It could and in some cases is backfiring. While I doubt if we will be seen as a threat to all, most radical Muslim entities are now pointing the finger at us saying we are the aggressors. This accusation has a ready ear among Muslim young who are poor and disenfranchised making them fertile ground for Al Qiada's doctrine of hate. Also some of the other Muslim countries are starting to see us as the aggressors motivated by greed for oil. It is going to take some very adept leadership to counter these perceptions if they can be countered at all. \n\nAlso at home on the domestic front a lot of Americans are losing faith in the War. Many Americans now see Bush's plan as being overly aggressive and motivated by petroleum. Many people are calling him the "Big Oil" president. There is no doubt that the war on terror is losing Alis.

Yes, not only the backbone, Americas has lost its upper chamber also. They have supported unjust war of Bush in Iraq & Afganistan, killing US Troops & innocent people of Iraq & Afganistan. They have again elected that war monger for the second term, who tells lies to justify his all wrong doings everytime. His every move risks the security of Us and its people.\nHe has already endangered the world peace. Americans are being more insecure only because of arrogant & monstrous thinking & misleading decisions of George Bush. \nAmericans have lost their mind, values & intelectuality to assess GB as the Us president.

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!

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.

Nevermind what the moron said here prior. Yes, the country thankfully is slowly becoming more conservative. And the liberals hate it! They can't stand that their "ideas" never really worked and are fading faster by the day. And today's youth sees that. They're not as confused as the liberal media tries to portray them. \n\nFunny how it works: When the liberally biased media needs kids to say something that suits their lies, then they focus on the youth. But as soon as the youth speak out for god, country and true patriotism, then you can't find a camera in sight. \n\nKids are not as stupid as some people make them out to be and they see the lies and hatred liberals spread around like peanut butter. And they are putting two and two together and realize that these extreme kooks on the left are not the way to go. \n\nThey see a president that is calm, resolute and does not respond to the vitriolic attemps made by the left hate america first crowd. They can spew whatever lies and hatred they want, but as usual it is falling on deaf ears. \n\nWant proof liberals? You sickos call our president similar to hitler? if you bastards had any shame whatsoever, you'd stop what you're doing right now. I couldn't stand not so slick lying, cheating and strealing willie when he was renting my country out like a cheap suit, but I nor my republican brethren would ever stoop so low to compare him to hitler. \n\nThat's one of the many differences between us conservatives and you liberals. We know where the line is and you will say and do anything do get what you want. And the kids see that and are tuning you out. \n\nLiberals are also fuming because they know they are becoming extinct, and taking their fossill hippie counterparts down with them! Good riddance liberalism!\n\nPeace through patriotism. No victory, no peace!

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.

What do you mean, The USA has been a racist country since day one and is slowly showing improvement in race relations.

We can sure hope so. It's starting off pretty good. Our Nation needs to support unity and good thinking. Time will tell.

YIKES!!  Now I'm gettng worried. Don't scare me like that. Sometimes we seem so weak I could see it happening. If we don't get tougher it's going to be a Mexican and Muslim country. All those wars we fought to have American freedom and then the hippies grew up into weak Liberals and we get took over easily from within.

Of COURSE all the enemies of America are evil countries ruled by evil dictators bent on destroying the world but must be stopped at all costs by TEAM AMERICA!!\n\n\n\n\nGod no.  I hate the way Americans look at their enemies.  Especially the ignorant youth who have been sooo indoctrinated into 'the system' that they believe it.

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?

Dear Dude:\nıt depends on who is stronger: The Loyal Americans or the  owners of the Transnational Corporations... We live in the age of disinformation. The ages are getting darker and darker. And I wanted to share with you the following facts: If you agree with me please send them to as many friends of you as possible... \n\nThe transnational companies which are using American government and ARMY to sip oil from Iraq are paying back with the money they have earned by selling the oil they have been continuously stealing from Iraq. They will do the same in Iran and Venezuella.\n\nYou won't believe it but some transnational companies are there to force the Yahoo Corp. to delete my questions here. But I am continuously changing my name to hide it from them. Until they find me, thousands of people will have learned that America is no more controlled by its national companies. Transnational companies are a great threat both for America and the world. A transnational company is one that feels no loyalty to any nation. They don’t pay any taxes to any government and they are strong enough to overthrow governments all over the world. For the time being they are using Americans. They threat America by the fact that if they draw their capital and investments from America 25 % of its population will be jobless. \n\nThe fight and the tension between the members of the Senate is in fact a fight between the American and non-American capital owners. Right after the 9/11 the nationalistic or loyal American capital owners became a little bit stronger and passed a decree from the senate to the effect that the central government and the states are to buy their weapons from NATIONAL war industries... But at present non-American capital owners have become stronger enough to sip petroleum out of Iraq by using American ARMY. This is the horrible fact about American Politics and Bush is not loyal to America.\n\nSorry for the terrible English. Wish you prosperity and happiness. I am a mere warrior to enlighten people about facts.… Yes, they are my facts. But believe me they aren’t groundless.

Americans have lost fear. They are not afraid of anything anymore, and that is why they are unfortunately declining. \n\nThey think they are all powerful and rightous literaly living in a bubble they created around themselves that is shielding them from the truth. \n\nThe truth is that they are loosing to the global competitors due to thier reckless actions that have cost them thier true allies. \n\nThe continue to support the wrong sides, by Supporting the Israeli Occupation of Palestine for instance for many decades, they have created millions of enemies amongst the Arab and Islamic world, because by nature, Muslims are justice loving people, and they don't like to see another country, such as the US, supporting a violater in his act, in this case, the Zionist (Jewish Exremism) violation of Palestine. \n\nSome Americans might be afraid, but the American Administration, with "Gods" President, the self-declared "War President" is not afraid of anything, not afraid of the Rising EU, China, India, Japan, etc. \n\nSo to answer your question, unfortunately, fear does not exist in this culture, for it fears not the Lord.

No.  It is an outdated and flawed system that is representative of qualities similar to that of the British empire in which our forefathers fought so desperately to get away from.  We are becoming the United Empire of America....it is a very scary time in our history.  I think politics have outgrown the fair representation of Americans.

Yes I can see the anti American crap in today's movies. I think that in the last few years Hollywood has "jumped the shark" I seldom go to movies anymore so that they will not get my money.

Yes, it does.\nThe latest interventions of US Military machine in Afghanistan and Iraq have provided radicals the extra source to rely on and use as propafanda against US and West at all. The threat coming towards Islamic culture, moral and religious standards is multiplied in imagination of radicals by military interventions - they explain to illiterate people as "Here comes America which has no human values, it defeats our values and massacres all of us in Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya, Afghanistan and Iraq because we are Muslims". This kind of ideological brainwashing should be stopped. That is why American administration should watch out before implementing certain policies.
