...and therein lies your problem, Yankee.
It's YOUR problem - YOU are complaining.
We "foreigners", your ertswhile allies and friends and supporters, have to live with the mess people like you and Bush create but don't give a shiit about. In fact, it's fairly clear that people like Bush don't even acknowledge we exist, let alone care or even give a shiit about us. And we don't even have the priviledge of the option to vote to make any difference to stuff that profoundly affects our lives and countries. Do you have the faintest idea how conceited that sounds from here?
One damned word I am tired of hearing is "allies" - quit that crap. You've been sunshine allies. Except for the brits a few times, you've been our allies (in a substantial, non-token way) when we were defending you directly - eg australians in WWII and euroweenies in WWI, WWII, and the cold war. When it's been us taking on the communists or other dictators during the whole post-WWII era, you are nowhere to be seen except sometimes for token participation. All americans grow up listening to a relentless bitching about and ridiculing of americans. We're wrong when we're wrong, and wrong when we're right. We're wrong when we do fight, and wrong when we don't fight. We're just wrong, period. Do you have the faintest idea how americans eventually react to this? After a time we don't hear you anymore because you've lost all credibilty.
As AUP's survey shows, we are all quite smart enough to realise that it's not Americans per se who are a problem, it's "the USA" as an entity, and its actions in the world context. And those actions are driven in the main by Bush's team, on your behalf.
Nonsense - bush is supported by scores of millions of americans, which makes Americans per se the "problem".
