But the FACT is the perception is there in the minds of many people around the world. For some reason.
It is called "Anti-Americanism" and is at an all time high. The world media is made up of pacifists, one worlders, peaceniks, socialists, etc.
Not to mention that as the most successful nation on earth there is a bad case of envy and coveting going on.
Over the years Europe has basicly gone socialist with the population being left wing pacifists. The Europe of today would have never prevailed in WWII even with the help of the USA.
I think the unending drumbeat of the left wing media has caused what was once the perception of extreme wackos only to enter the mainstream.
Liberal Dems may think it helps their cause but it diminishes us all to have this kind of crazy thinking prevail.
We are not anti-America -- just seeing how things are with our eyes open looking at the U.S. outside of its borders rather than the rather limited perspective of looking at it from INside.
You can't dismiss every negative statement or thought or perception about the US of A. There is some truth in some of the outsider perceptions and not just perception but actual happenings.
I don't think Canadians in general are anti-American either. THere's a great relationship between the 2 countries and it's been that way generally speaking for a long time - as long as I've lived for sure.

which is so very disappointing. it is based on the fact that it has been the American Military that has gone everywhere, dealing with the things that nobody else would. increadably deflating. and extremely sad.

They hate us because of our freedom.
They are just plain jealous.
On the successful portion... You are aware that we borrow around $3,000,000,000.00 per day on average... right?
They don't hate us for our "freedom". Where did you get that? They hate us because we are strong, powerful, successful, rich,etc,etc.
Freedom has nothing to do with it.
The truth is that many of the people who trash America would move here in a second if given the chance. That is one reason we have a significant population that does not want to assimilate and become "American". They want the ecocomic and political benefits of America while still hating America. This is a rot from within.
They don't hate us for our "freedom". Where did you get that?
From Georgie...
They hate our freedoms: our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other.
George W Bush - September 21, 2001
And from Rudy Guli..
These people came here and killed us because of our freedom of religion, because of our freedom for women, because they hate us...
Rudy Giuliani
And many others. It has pretty much been the battle cry for the last 6 years.
They hate us because of our freedom.
They are just plain jealous.

It is a well known fact that the money brokers of the world dictate the cash flow around the world not only in the US but in Canada as well, the real puppeteers are one and the same. Our individual blessings come from the Lord and certainly not the government, we cannot put our trust in the systems of this world, everyone of them are flawed and are destined to crash.
