Generally it has been positive.
If there's anything negative then it is because of political
reasons: 1. Occupation of Iraq 2. Political bias to Pakistan
3. Playing role as a super cop to the world 4. Vast
consumption of energy and natural resources 5. Lack of
employment opportunities and flat economic growth |
| 11 |
Foreign policy, George Bush's
lack of sensitivity and understanding of other cultures, US
culture is different from other cultures. No one likes a
superpower. |
| 12 |
Jealousy, desire for the US to
become weaker, desire for wealth redistribution |
| 13 |
Abroad... it is foreign policy
decisions. Our decisions to go into Iraq, etc. Domestically,
it is domestic policy issues... a government that is over
spending, not engaged in the world, white male-dominated and
corrupt. |
| 14 |
Americans are incredibly
arrogant, think they rule the world and have no understanding
of anything non-American. |

consumerism |

the concept of world policing,
the strong idea that they are the ideal of a perfect
democracy, the masking of the truth, and the manipulation of
the media, and the infringements on rights WHILE at the same

handled, especially Iraq (which may still become another
Vietnam before all is said and done) |
| 29 |
Poor political maneuvering in
Washington mostly. |

The feeling that the US thinks
it rules the world. Also, when travelling, Americans often
garner a reputation for being loud and obnoxious. |

Hubris & Hypocrisy -
Claiming to be the leader of democracy, but ignoring
democratic institutions such as the UN. All countries are
equal – but some more equal than others. Freedom of religion
as long at it is Christian. In two words - "International
arrogance" (or "International Ignorance") |
| 41 |
poor perspective |
| 42 |
The arrogancy and lack of
responsibility of the current administration. |

US government actions |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
1) The US is a big bully and
does not show any concern for anyone's well-being, includind
the well-being of US citizens. 2) The hightened levels of US
Christian fanaticism/evangelism threaten the peace of the rest
of the planet. An estabslished history and reputation based on
the above two points lead to negative feelings about the US. A
sustained shift from traditional American benevolence towards
barbarism and feudalism. |

Demagoguery and cluelessness: -
We are "educating" Iraqis on the importance of democracy, but
forget that we installed their dictator and put him on CIA
payroll; we ousted Allende from Chile (democratically elected)
and installed Pinochet; we lecture China on human rights, but
have sponsored death squads in Latin America to put down
"insurgents"; we unconditionally back Israel even as they
bulldoze Palestinian homes in the West Bank against UN
resolutions... etc. And the latest - we favor torturing
suspected terrorists to get them to confess. I hate this
stuff. |
