The whole world protested hwen we got into this war, and they need to do it again now, before it's too late. I wish Americans cared enough to protest. I haven't written about it yet because I'm just heartbroken at the moment and can't seem to get my thoughts in order.
I have mixed feelings about this. America has never been overly popular. Let's face it; if the Jones live in a shack and drive an old Ford pickup truck, it's likely that they'll resent the Smiths if they live in a mansion and drive a Rolls. There's a lot of envy of Americans which is sublimated into hatred.
But, on the other hand, there has always been "The Ugly American". The American that can't and won't adapt to other countries and ways, even when they're visiting them. Their arrogance is so "in your face" that they make terrible ambassadors for the rest of us. Pres. Bush is one such example.
One thing that many people outside of our country don't realize is how many good, kind, dedicated individuals live here.
And, the misperception of America is often cultivated. Glenn Beck ran a very interesting video on some of the outright lies that are being told about us in Iran. One such example: The Iranian gov't. is actually claiming that Pepsi is "Pro-Jew, anti-arab" and that PEPSI stands for Penny Earned Pays to Save Israel! And the uneducated people over there are buying it!
Nah! That's just some more of that Old Europe thinking.
