Is America, Really as bad as people say? Options

[CrazayChristian]

I know, I'm an American, why am I asking this?

Well, I've heard both sides of the story, and I still don't see why people dislike America.

I came across this topic:

And I realized that there must be some sort of prejudice involved.

In my opinion, we are doing alot already. We actually have more troups in the yugoslavian area than Iraq, and I think we lose more people there than Iraq. We have troups there to help stifle the fighting.
We have troups in Iraq so that we can help them to defend themselves.
We are the big brother of Isreal.

And yes we've had some bad moments, such as the bikini Islands. But, you're expected to make mistakes. Look at how the European powers did hundreds of years ago.

Some people blame the president for the problems, but put yourself in his shoes, to control the most powerful country in the world and try to make everyone happy. It just doesn't always work out.

So, I'm wondering, why do certain people (almost entire countries) dislike America?

(I'm curious about my facts, and I figured debate would be the best way to discuss diffrent sides)

This country was SET UP UPON CHRISTIAN TERMS. Yes. There is a difference between Church and State but still. Our laws were written under CHristian Terms.

Why is it so important to you that the government continue to focus on Christian morals and ethics? You're more than free to practice them yourself, and raise your kids according to them--no one is suggesting you stop doing so. But what makes it so important that everyone else adhere to Christian morals and ethics, too? Isn't religious freedom one of the greatest things about America?
