USA should try to make friends of other nations, at present they seem to prefer to flex their muscles at other countries.

America could regain some respect by tossing the shrub out of office. Nothing else will suffice.

It´s too late. The damage is done.

A combination of bad foreign policy decisions and a poor president on the government´s side, and a concerted effort to seize on that and propagate that hatred throughout the world by those who would benefit by a weak America has done its job.

Basically I am still proud to be an American, because that´s what I am. I am a decent person and not responsible in any way, shape, or form for our foreign policy. I didn´t even vote for Bush.

So, anybody who hates me personally for being an American can kiss my ass, and are not worthy of my time.

I hate bigots.

Here´s the truth though.

I am European - 20 years ago the whole (most?) of the world admired and respected America, it was something to aspire to. Nowadays it is seen as something akin to cold war Russia - an intolerant, racist, selfish, greedy and warmongering dictatorship with superpower military influence.

It used to stand up for freedom, liberty and opportunity for all men. Now it just seems to want to create an empire based on oil and right wing facism.

You need to be rid of the hidden neocon powers in your country and re-instate a tolerant benevolent democratic government once more, where the bill of rights actually means something again.

No. What it is is most people grow up.

Sure, when you´re a kid you think America is great, but the love affair ends when you stop growing.

That´s the ironic and ignorant attitude causing this hatred. Everyone knows the only "god" blessing America has horns and a tail.

This is why people reject you.

Re: How could the United States regain respect in the world?
Okay.

Here´s a genuine solution. It won´t make America more popular, it will just make Europe and Asia less popular.

Instead of making Westerns, Hollywood should put out some prehistoric movies telling the taboo tales of the black inhabitants of Brtiain and Eurasia, before the Aryan and Mongol invasions.

This way people in those places would have less disdain for the America known to have wrested its lands and wealth from defenseless natives.

Re: How could the United States regain respect in the world?
When you have a "President" who thinks he´s the second coming of Neopolian....let´s his mouth over-load all our asses...what should people think?

He threatens, bully´s and try´s to push HIS agenda off on everyone...not only in the USA, but in other countries as well. They´re tired of his ego, and I´m tired of him wanting to "speak for the people". I´m a People, and he damn sure doesn´t speak for me!

How would this country respond to someone coming in, taking over and telling us what we have to believe and how to live? We´d do the same thing the other countries are doing. Fighting back.

GW Can´t run the world.

I think President Lincoln Said, "You can please some of the people some of the time but not all the people all of the time". I can just imagine how much he was hated during the Civil War. What can you do?

Americans are surprised when arabs shoot and blow up American troops in Iraq...amazed that the soldiers that brought "freedom and democracy" to Iraq are hated by the locals.

Wake up and smell the roses. If Iraqi soldiers were on American soil to bring you the freedom of the Qu´ran and Sharia law then wouldn´t you be shooting and blowing them up to?

Double standards America - it´s ok for you to have enough nukes to rape the planet 20 times over, but oh my fucking god if Iran tries to build one then you are gonna deliver democracy to them as well - inside sugar coated uranium tipped bunker busters.

You made your bed, now fucking lay in it. If you kept inside you´re own borders and didn´t try to steal other countries black gold, then the world wouldn´t be in this mess.

Just tell the truth. Tell the world the actual truth, not a bunch of intricate or impressive lies. You´d earn a little respect.

To gain any respect after GW, the next person in ofice will have a lot of kissing up to do. To un-do the mess he´s going to leave....who would want the job?

Frankly, I´m surprised at a free thinking nation would allow an egotistical ass to remain in office to do further damage. What´s wrong with the people? Have we become a flock of sheep that will allow an idiot to lead us and others to their doom....Just so he can drag his knuckles and beat on his chest??????
