Can hardly wait to have a real President
so we can go back to our values. Be prosperous again. be at peace with the world. study and try to understand why all the hatred toward the US and then do something about it. There has to be a reason so many people in the world hate us so bad to give up their lives for their cause. The war on terror will not be won on the battlefields it will be won through dialog and understanding. Maybe all we need to do is get down off the white horse we rode in on, so to speak. May I please see peace again.

2. Half the world is still going to hate us
They always have and always will. No matter how much food and aid we give. Don't get your hopes too high.

3. Most don't hate us, they hate this administration
There are many people, especially in Europe, who separate Americans from American government. They hate the Chimp.

4. Giving food and aid is not the answer
in depth studing and understanding their grievances would be the place to start.

6. Most Europeans and others like Americans
I think they just hate Bush and also the imperialism that the US projects.

7. Me neither
But no amount on our knees begging is going to make up for the horrible shit that Bush has done. It could take decades to recover from the chaotic mess he has made of our international relationships.
