Don't question our motives. You have no right to do that. Our actions have enabled your pathetic little countries to survive this long, and to prosper. Show some respect.

Well, our actions (wars, religious oppression etc.) have enabled your pathetic little country to exist in the first place. Show some respetc.

I suspect that one of the reasons America is disliked or hated in various parts of the world is its percieved hypocrisy on various issues, examples being Guantanamo Bay and supporting dictators if they are friendly towards the US.

What he said.

Although I consider myself a great fan and supporter of the US of A, I do find immense humour in the hypocrisy the US government puts forward.

All the while the the US was in bed with the Shah of Iran, the Chinese government, assorted South and Central American dictators, and various psychos, torturers, mass murderers, and nutbars the world over, we were all told to avoid Cuba like the plague because "Fidel isn't a very nice guy".

I'm sorry, but you would not only have to be brain dead to have bought that - you would have to be brain dead to think people would buy it.
