Is anyone outside of the US intelligent enough to realize most US citizens oppose the war and hate Bush?

Most countries have restrictions on what U.S. information can be introduced on their citizens, therefore they do not get all of the information. The leaders of these countries also make their news stations and newspapers reflect the U.S. in a negative way especially if they are opponents of our policies.

We don't hate the American people, they're victims of their own media and education systems. What we are strongly against is the current American governament which is a worse lier than gobelz .

No because americans dont support our country and militant combatants, they all seem to want to hate bush when he has been the biggest supporter of all, his job isnt the easiest

Yes, there are many people who love Bush and think all of his stumbles and gaffes were made up by the media.  These are the same people who think that if you criticize the president, you are somehow giving comfort to "the enemy" and are a traitor.  They say they believe in America and the flag, but they would stifle freedom of speech in the name of patriotism.  They scare me because if there are enough of them, they can destroy America and all that it stands for.

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.

I haven't noticed this at all. I'm not sure most American teenagers even have a clue as to what the attitude of their U.K. peers is on the war. As far as the general population of the U.K. resenting America's intrusive foreign policies, that' nothing new. And while Fox News does tend to be polarizing when it comes to attitudes about national boundaries, it generally backs up the U.K. while attacking just about everybody else. If anything, I would say that most Americans, especially conservatives actually perceive the U.K. as our only true ally right now.

You make a very good point. It is NOT American to hate America, however certain people think it's in vogue now. The PC, Bush is Hitler, 9/11 was inside job crowd. How can a person really believe these things and continue to live here? Why is it that everyone else on the planet can be proud of their "homeland" but us?

I am pro-American all the way but in my time in the Marines I learned that the rest of the world does not think like the US.  One of the biggest faults I see in the US is that most Americans honestly believe the rest of the world thinks like us. This is not true.  Another big problem is a lot in the US believe that the rest of the world wants to be like us as well.  That is also not true.\n\nThis is a problem I have given a lot of thought to and honestly I do not know of a solution to this.  You can look through here at the partisan answers and tell that there are some people that plan out you will not change their minds.

There are many examples like this.  It is actually just the "hate Bush no matter what crowd" that is getting all the negative press.  Unfortunately too many people aren't able to look past their emotions and the media networks know this and they play to it.  If these same people were offered unbiased views (including all the good that is going on) they would have different opinions.  I personally think that it is scary that too many people are willing to believe what they are spoonfed on the nightly "news" instead of sitting back and looking critically at the issue.  Saddam Hussein has always been a threat to stability in the region and the rest of the world.  If Clinton had gone in no one would have said boo just like Bosnia and Kosovo.

Yes..you hit the nail right on the head..I can tell you from an "outside" perspective that is exactly what the world sees..it is a shame that trusted governments can hurt their own people so much..Freedoms are being lost daily in the USA..Bush has been a very destructive man..not just to the U.S. but the suffering he has caused throughout the world is appalling. I hope the American people can stop it before it is too late...The blind and shallow-minded will disagree.

That would be an interesting question to ask the citizens of the world. Based on our current foreign policy, I'd bet most people would say that Americans are, particularly since we now openly approve of torture. The Iraqis are seen as citizens of an occupied country and we are seen as their occupiers. And in spite of the failure of the war, our leaders refuse to change tactics or even admit wrongdoing.

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.

No, many of them are policy developers. If you look around many of the very ones who advocated the war in Iraq are stepping back and heaping blame on Bush as being the primary factor in our failure there.
