    Really Good for the world? are you crazy? of course not. i think it is the best for Americans yes. for example: you would look after your family first before others right? well a lot of americans can not see it but it is the best. and of course sacrifice must be made.... and it's no easy for the people to suffered the loss most of the times...but it is really for the sake of the Great US.

    America used to be a great place to go. I am an American and do not agree with what is being done now by our politicians. I think we should all take a look at the world as a whole. We only have one world to live on and we need to try to do it peacefully. We should be sticking together as people because we are not the ones making the bad decisions.

    As people we might elect but the choices are slim at this point the people in office are not doing what we have asked.

    I think that the United States is not doing whats right by the people or with other countries.

    Most Americans are sick and tired of the excessive taxation forced upon them. They get taxed at every level for everything they do. The government is reducing the quality of life of many with these taxes. So with these high taxes being considered, the answer to your question is NO! Americans tend to feel they are paying for these police actions and are very weary of doing so.

    The government in America is supposed to represent the people but it's been shown time and again that it does not do this. So don't blame the American people for the folly of the American government and their interfering in the doings of other countries.

    I believe America is in decline. It's policies are non-sustainable and the people are tired of the taxes. There are agencies in place that exist for the sole purpose of collecting taxes from the citizens. Americans are losing their rights as well. Freedom of speech has conditions now. You cannot own property in America due to property taxes. By definition, you only lease property in America. You cannot own a gun, except conditionally and gun laws are under constant attack by the government. Eventually guns will be banned, just a matter of time now.

    So things are probably better in America than some countries but it's definitely in decline and who knows how long it can last with taking on the policing of the world. Not long in my view.....

    No. i think of one ingredient that we can relax assured of at this element is that whoever gets elected would be an vast progression over Bush. no longer in basic terms has Bush initiated undesirable coverage which favors the prosperous, yet has blocked the different coverage that favors the working type. as quickly as a number of u.s.'s affluence turns into available to the human beings who actual might desire to or choose for to spend it interior the U.S. somewhat than make investments it distant places or squirrel it away into their very own inner maximum fortune, the financial equipment will boost dramatically. in case you will see...while Bush actual DID seek for suggestion from the economists to come lower back up with a "stimulus equipment", they directed money quickly on the buyer. They themselves have envisioned that an insignificant $500 consistent with guy or woman interior the arms of the shoppers might "turn the financial equipment around". The question then is, if that's such an obtrusive actuality, why has trees coverage centred on tax breaks for the prosperous? the midsection type is what drives our financial equipment, no longer the human beings hoarding gold bars.

    The United States government has policies that are in the best interest of the United States of America. Whether or not these policies are good for others is open to interpretation by those affected by the policy. Many times it seems that our policies and practices offend others and regardless of our motive, we have still offended. Speaking purely from a global perspective, it is not the United States place to assume that it can run the show.

    I can see how the United States have interfered with political policies of other countries. That is a valid point. But when you say that they get involved with domestic policy you lose me.

    Unless you are implying by involving themselves into other countries politics that it directly effects other countries domestic policies.

    If that is the case, then it is an unfortunate outcome of the United States political policies.

    Well, I think in many cases, it is good to get involved in other countries. There are many examples of good things that the US has done - giving food aid to Africa, aiding the allies in WW2, helping India protect against China's invasion, etc. But in recent times, I think our foreign policy has become too arrogant and forceful, and we are blatantly abusing our power in world affairs to get what we want without consideration for anyone else, even our allies. This will probably hurt us in the long run.

    Ho yes your neutral "America well know to interfere" sure you are ! Yes we do what in OUR best interest we can't take care of you all forever can we?

I can tell you till the cows come what we have done for the world but you don't want to hear it I'm not sure what country you are in but why don't you butt out of ours and take care of yours!

    American policy is meant of course to be good for the Americans.... Lately though following the course of action.. of a certain president that I shall leave unnamed.. Our foreign policy has suffered.. if not completely backfired.

    Even most American citizens are not happy with it. The quandary is however that it does not seem that there is a political figure in the government who will take balanced actions. most are really for or really against certain actions and will not compromise...... So in the words of someone famous... Were F*ck3d......

    I live here. Yeah I think we must look after our own interests as every other country does. Perhaps if we with drew all of our funding and military support to the world for about ten years you would see thing differently.

    I don't believe you are neutral. Syntax suggests other wise.
