Without addressing the anti-American sentiment that is growing so rapidly around the world, we will not find security or peace creating an endless state of war. American leaders say we are fighting for freedom and democracy while many other people and nations would say America is fighting for the control by the McCorporations. Americans do not see themselves as a global empire while most people and nation around the world do. Yesterday’s weapons of protection are today’s threats of destruction and annihilation of the world, as we know it today. Many of the strengths of yesterday become the weakness of tomorrow in an evolving society.

The American society has greatly profited from the economic exploitation of the indigenous people of the world.  America can win the military war while losing the economic. and political battles weakening our nation. The American government’s domestic and foreign policies are so out of whack many foreign leaders are losing confidence in our leadership. Today nations are so inter-dependent on one and another economically while being so divided political on a national and international level. The fate of the American’s security today is in the hands of banks in China and Japan.

To all of those people who say “God Bless America” God has blessed America and America has abused that blessing. Many of the world’s great innovative advancements have been made by Americans people from all over the world bring great wealth. It is how America has used her great wealth and power that is in question. Leading by example and not through military strength will bring peace and security. Only by American addressing their problems at home can they help those in need around the world. The problems we face as a nation are only a snapshot of those we face as a world. While trying to demilitarize the world we are militarizing our nation. The hypocrisy between what we say and what we do is at the roots to many of our problems.   

If the Americans want to be a strong leader in the world that people and nations look up too with respect and dignity, we will have to overhaul our domestic and foreign policies. The health and security of our nation influences the condition of the people in the world. Too often disputes between nation arise from a lack of understanding of history bring us to this point. Only by bring our political and economic policies into balance will we begin to address the real problem we face. Whether it is the war in Iraq, Palestine-Israel or the poppy fields in Afghanistan or our national debt the American people are going to pay for the mistakes.

Funny, but I see nothing in that little treatise about all the the US has done to try to foster economic development and advancement in the world.  I also see no acknowledgement of how benign the period of US world dominance has been.

Conversely, all this expressed hatred of the US is proof of how benign we are.  Do you think there were public hate campaigns against Nazi Germany in Europe in the 1930s and 1940s?  People didn't dare express anti-German sentiment, lest Hitler invade and crush them.  And it happened in Yugoslavia in 1941, as well as other countries.

As always, there is some truth in what you've said, but it is a profoundly distorted picture.  If some of these people spent half the time and energy doing something for themselves that they spend hating the US and blaming the US for all their problems, their lives would be a lot better.

President Bush has weaken the United States national defense and security unlike any other President. The government’s first response to rescue the victims of Hurricane Katrina is a good example. Louisiana State National Guard has seventeen helicopters with fitheen them in Iraq during Hurricane Katrina as well as their fleet of platoon boats. Over three thousand of Louisiana first response personnel were in Iraq during Hurricane Katrina with much of the state equipment needed for disaster relief.

Those in politics who profit from wars and disasters such as Halliburton - Cheney and Bechtel - George Shultz are undermining the national security of the United States. The hundreds of billions of dollars the United States government spends in the name of national defense goes into the pockets of a very few corporations. At what level does a conflict of interest arise between a person position in private life and a person holding a high-level government position dealing with the company of your former employer.

George Bush ran for President saying he was going to raise the moral standards in government and cut federal government spending. When in reality as President he has miss led the American people into a War of Choice while sending the national debt sky high weakening the nations national security.  The State National Guards are the first responders in a time of national crisis. Hurricane Katrina a nature disaster of biblical proportion that had been predicted and contemplated by many people for years happened. One million Americans made homeless with 65% to 70% of the first responders with only 50% of their equipment at home. The people of Louisiana and Mississippi face a challenge like never before in American. Many people today in Iraq can understand and relate to the conditions of the people in the Gulf region first hand.
