Why should we care what the foreigners on line care about the US policy?
I am tried of people from other countries telling us what is wrong with our great country. The need to fix their own countries, then we will talk. There is a reason we are a world power - politically, millitarily, finically, & socially . Even our entertainment is watched all over the world, we do not watch many foreign films - so why take their advice?

Our debt is increased greatly from the funds that we send to dozens of foreign countries to bolster their economy including Mexico.

Well, critique is important for any country. Say your make-up's ****** up and your worst enemy tells you, you get pissed because its her...but you fix the problem and then she can't say anything. So I think if it's good criticism, not like USA sucks, but a real problem...we aren't better than anyone else, we just have more luxuries. We're not perfect and knowing what our weaknesses are, allow us to better this country. So if it's ignorant, ignore it, but if this country can eventually better from it, then it wasn't just a waste of breath. If they choose to better our country instead of theirs its their loss and our gain.
Criticisms help to reflect in the action that it is taken. Other countries criticize US because they over impose their opinion and will at many different scales like in the ONU, OTAN, world economy, etc. Yes, US is the most powerful nation in the world but that at come by stepping people (countries) down. It’s Americans duties to watch for their own, but their right stop when others get affected. Most Americans don’t care for foreign politics and they are not aware of what their leader are doing to others. Another criticisms for Americans is that many don’t know much about the rest of the world witch is hard to believe because in other countries they teach world history very seriously.
One my Irish acquaintance had a flight from London. A German man who sit near him took 1 1/2 seat (not because he was big) and did not mind that somebody has to sit on 1/2 seat for several hours... A German man came first to the plain and believed it is sufficient reason to do not pay attention to any comments. He had, surely, more comfort, DO NOT BELIEVE?
Sometimes, it takes an outsider to see what's really going on. Americans tend not to look past their front door. As a whole, Americans are truly naive. Sad but true.
