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)

We loose about 20 soldiers a week in Iraq so pardon me when I can careless of what we are doing in friggin yugoslavia. We started this war on a false accusation which we now know it to be, Bush is nothing but a liar and a enemy against the consitution. This nation was founded on the idea that church and state were to be seperated but if you look at the laws that he is trying to pass if he has not yet done so, includes christian ideals. I cannot wait till mr bush is out of office and we have a actual president in charge.
