The media is filled with negative messages about Americans. Filled with lies, stupidity and hoaxes that people are actually dumb enough to believe in.
I personally believe that most of the wars ARE justified. When they went into Iraq people thought they just wanted oil. To date I do not see a single record of Americans extracting oil from Iraq and brining it to the United States to be used without paying. I do believe that there was evidence of WMD's and the evidence was covered up, canned and stored until America got out of Iraq. I think that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are justified. Here's something else that may shock you:
Bush wasn't a bad president.
Yes yes, he may have looked stupid, and done embarrassing things on national television. But out of all presidents, he was the most honest. Unfortunately his honesty made him look like a fool in the public eye and people began to hate him. People accused him of being greedy, and that he just wanted oil, and wasn't actually looking for WMD's, or wasn't trying to put an end to the Taliban.
He may have seemed trigger happy, but believe it or not: he accomplished a lot.
Iraq isn't much of a different story. Why do they need nukes? Just because? They aren't building them "just because". They never needed them and now all of the sudden they do. The US and Israel has already put a trade embargo on them, and now they want to talk. This issue is done. Americans will either get what they want, or let Iraq find other trade routes.
Now, I want to address this:
think America are the biggest terrorists. They are the ones who are constantly invading other countries "to prevent terrorism". I think the picture ZoneHD posted sums it up. It's ok for America to go into another country and drop bombs from jets, but a country can't do it to them though otherwise they will get invaded. Every country in the middle east are terrorists according to America.
This is not correct. Not every country in the middle east are terrorists. America doesn't think that at all. They do not want countries who have terrorists within them to begin using weapons that can be obtained and used to harm Americans. It's really as simple as that. Americans have only had issues with the "big 3" Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran. These countries have terrorist influence within and are large threats to America.
Lets face it:
People hate America because they hate how a single country can be so powerful. They make fun of them, make narrow minded stereotypes about them and just plain hate them. But when they need help, they come crying to America for aid. It's sad. America is the mother and those countries are the spoiled assholes. They hate their mothers but come crying to them for help when they are in need. This is why they are in so much debt. THEY HAVE HEATS FOR $#@!S SAKES. They send foreign aid by the billions, no one talks about THAT? People just talk about how they are STUPID and NARROW MINDED.
PEOPLE LIKE THIS MAKE ME $#@!ING SICK!
To be honest, I think the world would be a better place without America. It was a fine place to be until it formed, then they went on a power trip ever since. It's not the media portrayal as to why I don't like them, it's the people's portrayal. "Hurr durr America saved your ass in WW1 and WW2 hurr durr" Fuck off, really. Some of the wars are not justified. WW1 and WW2 was justified for war. Vietnam war was to try and build a democracy. That is not justifiable, that's trying to take control. The gulf war, OK, yeah it was kind of justifiable, I mean Saddam was killing innocent people so that needs to be stopped. The Somalian civil war had nothing to do with America, they went to try and create a democracy, again, and look how it turned out. Again, trying to control somewhere.
Iraq was for WMD's. You say why do Iraq need Nukes? Why do America need Nukes? Just because? Why? Why can America have thousands and other countries can't have one? No one needs nukes, and America are the only ones to have used them. Countries such as Iran and Iraq want to be powerful and a super power, and they follow the West to become one. The West has nukes, they want nukes because they think that's how you become a super power.
You say that there isn't any evidence of America getting oil? Well, maybe not directly, but for example, say Canada import oil from Iraq and then export oil to USA, where is the oil USA are getting coming from? Canada acting as the middle man, just like any business, therefore the oil USA are getting is really coming from Iraq. See how that works?
I don't hate America because of how powerful they are for a country. They would get bum fucked if a war broke out between them and Russia or China just because of the size of their armies. Look at what happened in WW2 with the Nazis and Russia. Russia was less equipped than the Nazi yet beat them because of the size. Russia still has some good tech. Britain has the best army and we've proved how good we are countless times over history. We had a colony and controlled half the world. We have a track record. America don't. The only thing America has is numbers, in which if we were to ever go to war, it would be America winning due to the size, however if it was a fair fight, I have no doubt that Britain would win.
America isn't the only country to send aid. Britain sends it all the time and we're in a massive recession. You're the prime example of why I don't like America. You're narrow Minded yourself, thinking America is the best thing in the world. It says you're from Canada, I thought Americans don't like Canadians, so why you're bum fucking them I have no idea. How you can call anyone narrow minded it beyond me, you don't look at anything from other sides, just Americas side.
