I think america is trying to spread their beliefs of freedom around the world, and most countries dont like that because of the intruding. I think that is why the US is thought of the way it is.

the U.S. does seem to care a little too much about business rather than the people. make the money, try and keep the money, and hurt people along the way to do it... not exactly right.

I have always been aware of the worlds view on the United States but what bothers me is when people of foreign countries call out American citizens about our foreign policy and the war in Iraq. No one wants to be fighting the war and almost all Americans who understand politics hate Bush. We hate our president just as much as you do.

i don't pay much attention to politics but i hear the jist of what is happening in foreign countries that involve the U.S. I don't know enough information about any situation to make a well informed decision. I think the problem with most americans is that they don't take the time to find out the finner details in order to make an informed decision.

I think that the United states as a Country is not doing so well internationally, but it'd be nice if people from other countries realised that not every American is like this, and look at American visitors not as 'pigs' but as new people that they have never met bofore so they don't have preconceived notions.

It was eye opening on how the other countries view America. I thought that many would praise our government and values but many thought we were clueless and unworthy. It is intresting how the Lebonese man taked about how our vote affects their life more than we know.

These people have a right to be mad at our contry because of their personal experiences but they need to be heard by more than just high school students. I think that this website and these articles should become more known by to the public so that people see that our actions as a country are effecting the other countries in our world.

I feel that America does, and should, police the world. We are the only superpower and therefore other countries rely on our awesomeness. America may be arrogant but we have earned this right. Being a citizen of this country is an honor.

Other countries are very ignorant about America. America is good

People in other countries are right in some instances about wrongs in America. However, I feel that most of their criticisms come out of jealousy. America is a rich and powerful country, and many people wish they could call themselves Americans.
