Question for anyone who is not from the U.S. and lives in another Country....?

What are your views of America, and Americans today? Has the Iraq War changed your view about America? If so, in a positive or negative way? What was your view of America before Bush took office? What is it now??

Im Curious to know what people around the world think of Americans (as I am an American) and what their perception is of Americans, good or bad, please be as brutally honest as you can be, I want to know your opinions cause they matter. Thanks!

    I don't have just one generalised view of America, I see the people & the government as 2 completely seperate entities. To me, George Bush is a bigot who lacks both the ability & understanding to lead a nation like America. He & his government are bullies; they're power hungry & want to be at the top. Any country which threatens that position, Bush will find some bogus reason to send troops there. Also being an dominating, influential nation, he'll try to make other countries turn on them. Countries like Australia (where i'm from) need to stop jumping up his a.ss. Our prime minister John Howard is his little puppet & the Australian public isn't impressed. On the other hand, through this site i've learnt that not all, but many Americans are ignorant, arrogant & obnoxious people, yet on the whole the majority of you guys are really great people, imploring justice, equality & fairplay. I've also noticed many Americans dislike Bush & don't support his government. So it's relatively hard to judge you all the same.

    Before 9/11: US was a superpower had an urge to dominance in the world

    After 9/11: US is a zionist satanic state, a tool of satan

    Common people in US: They are just idiots, can be brain washed in few days by media and made to believe what govt, want them to believe.
