You know how there's a lot of slagging of the States and how we're supposedly arrogant and ignorant and yada? Well, I'd like to know what people of other countries think about us that's GOOD. I'm sure there must be something.

Could you list even 3 things you think we've done well, do well, have accomplished??

Don’t confuse the people with the politics.

It is the foreign policy of the current administration that people do not like, not American people.

I have travelled much of the States and have always been welcomed and have met with very friendly people all over. I like America as a county and its people.

The view of America today politically is much the same as when Regan was in power.

If any country was in trouble, they would want America on their side.
