I'd love to ask those in other nations, how does the world view us now?

1. I think this is something Kerry needs to hammer home more - that the world

hates us because of Bush and therefore we are more open to terrorism.

Also, the world economy is in danger because of Bush running up our national debt so high.

2. as a Canadian.. I view

some really awesome people fighting the good fight against the predators that are your government that is ruled by corporate power - amazing groundswell of conscience and logic and common sense that the whorish media removes themselves from. I've been called anti-american/terrorist sympathiser too many times but the accusers don't even know what being an American is any more, what being a human being is any more and what the dictionary definition of terrorism is.

3. depends who you mean by "us"

I view freepy types as scum of the earth who I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire! I view most American's as suffering because of the actions of a person they never elected.

The US has a lot of critics too but it still has a lot of good about it that doesn't exist/occur elsewhere - written protection of freedom of speech for example, a bill of rights - which although being currently trampled is still there which gives you something to start with.

The US is a big place and like anywhere you can't make a sweeping judgement on it's people - I'd say that regardless of who wins the election the US is going to continue being a little more "right" than many other western nations (I always find it funny when threads come up with stuff like "what's your most far left opinion/idea and the responses are all stuff that's been in practice in much of Europe/Aus/NZ and Canada for decades) and I think you'll have yor fair share of ignorant theists who insist THEIR version of God is correct and that others must conform but they're not that representative of you all.

Most people aren't "anti-American" we're anti corporate fascism and you're not the only nation guilty of letting that happen.

4. Yup. Dem "Old Yurpeans"

Been there, done that. So old now they say what they think and don't give a rat's ass knows it. Don't get 'em started on the *dauphin unless
you understand the local dialect. It's quite colorful! ;-)
