Hi, Triumph.  Every big brother has a tendency to poke his ugly nose into the affairs of the younger ones.  US is no exception.  Till the commencement of Second World War, the US was a non-interfering country and it was busy in the development of its own people.  When it became a super power, it started to think that it has got a right to inerfere in the affairs of other countries as if it is the protector of the entire globe.  This attitude of superiority complex has become the major hindrance for the international peace because some other countries also want to follow the same principle.

Why do you Americans have such little pride in your Nation? Do you not realise how much derision you attract from Europe because of your enthusiasm for fools and bigots like the Bushes and Regan?\nNone of these would go far in any European country

For all of America's weath and influence, for all of its powerful media, we are surprisingly isolated from the world.  What's more, we are still very slowing climbing out of the cultural muck that has allowed many of us to believe we are literally superior to the rest of the world.\n\nAmerica continues to behave arrogantly to the world, insisting we always know best, and our interests should be always honored.  It has done a great deal of harm to us the past 15 year in my opinion.\n\nIf only some of us could see ourselves in the eyes of those around us in the world.  Of course, most of us are so conceited and self-involved that we couldn't care less.

I myself do not feel anyone should leave America for their free speech, but when they bash America so much and so hard it seems they don't want to be here. It all just hurts so much!!

We've been sick of Americans for a long time, but there's unfortunately not much we can do about it except make fun of Americans on our own TV. Heck, we go so far, unfortunately, as to base a large amount of our national pride on being not American. So yeah, we're sick of you all; maybe that's why we're not as helpful on the international scene now as we were.

This attitude comes from being a very large well develped country, which has progressively bred a disturbing level of arrogance.\n\nBasically, America is drunk on its own hype.

I completely agree with you. There is entirely too much anti-Americanism. Being a Canuck myself, I have nothing but respect for the American people. Now, having said that, here comes the reason for the US bashing that is happening all around the world.\n1. America has become the police of the world, and many people would choose their own bad governments rather than a just and benevolent foreign government.\n2. That just and benevolent government mentioned above is strangely missing from your country. I always found the US Constitution to be a thing of genuine beauty. Does it not say that you are responsible to throw off such governments that detract from the rights of the people?\n3. American Foreign Policy, for the protection of American business interests, not the mutual betterment of all nations.\n4. The attitude that Americans have about their culture and country. The self proclaimed best country on earth, sounds arrogant, and nobody likes an arrogant person.\n5. The fear mongering being put forth by the American media machine. Hasn't anyone noticed that the hard won rights of the individual are disappearing in the name of security? I hope you enjoy living in your police states of the future.\nAs for a Third World War, where can we stand? In line with Bush's for or against policy? If that is my choice, then I must stand against. I now, always have and always will stand against tyranny and evil, even when that repression is claimed to be for my own safety. \nAs for wanting into the US, because you have greater freedoms than most, but not all.

You know you have asked one of the most pertinant questions I have read for a while.On the surface you have opened up a potentiel minefield here.\nI am english.I have visited the USA many many times and have loads of great american friends.I have written many times in this column poking a little ironic fun at "the yanks".\nMy experience is that" the average american" and remember we are talking the average,is warm, generous and very naive.They often have little or no understanding of other countries or their cultures. Often to the extent of having little knowledge outside their own state.Because they lead their lives around Oprah, Jerry Springer,World wrestling are easily influenced by tv propaganda they have become, unfortunately, the butt of jokes.I dont know the exact figures , but my understanding is that"Joe" doesnt travel outside the USA.I believe they have a blinkered view of the world. An observation confirmed by the replies I have received from americans. Self irony doesnt exist for you.Loosen up and dare to poke a little fun at your "leaders".The other point is remember that God isn't american.Try to learn and understand a little of other cultures and beliefs.You dont have to agree just take a look.Take care. Good Luck

First of all - generalizing arrogance to all Americans is insulting and disrespectful.\n\nSecondly, there is a lot of arrogance in the USA because we have many citizens who blindly follow the sound bites and who have been convinced that they should fear and hate people who are different.\n\nWhen you watch Bush strut onto a carrier and arrogantly proclaim the end to a war that continues today and has caused the deaths of 4000+ US military, the deaths of 100s of thousands of innocent Iragis, and the maiming of countless others, that is arrogance. \n\nThe US is arrogant as was Rome before it fell and Hitler before he took his own life. Sad but true - but please, do not blame all Americans for this arrogance.
