History's Worst Presidential Candidate
I'd say the current President GWB would be high on the list We don't try to run your country. Stop trying to run ours. The problem with your sentence is: it's false. The USA thinks she is the world police and tries to tell the 6 billion non-US people on Earth how they should live politically, economically and lifestyle-wise. The rootless USA people, few of whom know who their great grandparents were are demolishing traditional cultures worlwide by spreading and advocating Hollywood junk and the culture of worshiping violance. USA values individualism over true diversity and its media turns people into mindless consumer automatons who only make tycoons richers day by day. The USA confiscates other countries natural resources (especially OIL) and pollutes international and foreign territories. The US SUV ignorance eats up all the resources worldwide, spews poisons and makes the globe unsuitable for future generations. Americans live so carelessly as if the human paragraph in the history book of Earth is going to end tomorrow. Stop daydreaming, there is no way all the 290 million of you can move to Mars. You either make it with us into the future or all of the Earth will be a dead planet in 70 years. I'm afraid nothing can stop the yankee's individualistic desire to own literally everything and indulge in their illusions of self-godness via greed under the ideology of protestant christianity. When the depository of objects to own is depleted, they go abroad and loot. The US people lack brotherly love, their country is the only one which could afford general medical care but doesn't offer one, not even for children. The coldness of US people frightens the world and the USA tries to impose its awkward paragraph-based, de-personalized attorney-executive "culture" on all other countries. The world understands economy has been created for the benefit of the people, while the USA thinks all people exist just for boosting the economy. The world wants a more liveable planet, but the tremendous US pressure makes this impossible. Dear yankees, stop spinning at such high RPM. You make so much noise you suppress the entire planet's voice and in turn you can't hear the advices the outside world sends to you. USA = E pluribus unum (you will be melted if you join or forced to join) EU = E uno plures (join us to preserve your diversity via mutual support of countries) Such basic differences may apparently never change, but the identity of the new US president could determine whether the situation reaches a breaking point or remains manageable. Bush's antagonistic approach of "you are either with us or you are against us" has been coined and tried by communist leaders in Iron Curtain Eastern Europe between 1945-1956 and all it yielded were revolutions. It was then replaced with the policy of "if you are not against us, you are with us" and the world managed to avoid a nuclear WW3. Finally the soviet bloc dismantled itself. A slightly more patient U.S. president with just a little respect for the "rest of the world" would make a tremendous difference. After all, diplomacy is the art of managing international relations by means of politeness. People are not genetically terrorists. They become terrorists (guerillas) when someone takes away their means of living, deprives them of their motherland, a foreign power attempts at forcible change of ethnical standing or shows total disregards for their religious and cultural values. If you support honestly revising these issues and balance fist with palm, terrorism will quiet down and becomes minuscule in 15-20 years. This is what Kerry proposes and it is the only practical way. Bush's way is nothing but a repeat of the Gotterdammerung. Learn from history before history teaches you the lesson. Regards: Tamas Feher from Hungary. |

The US was formed from the ttroublemakers, malcontents and dissidents from all over the Earth. They came here to get away from paternalistic Authority trying to interfere with their lives and to get away from the petty tribalistic grudges that have hampered the Old World for centuries. In America, Hungarians don't hate Czechs, who don"t hate Slovaks, who don't hate Croatians, etc, ad nauseum. IMHO, Tamas is simply jealous that he doesn't live here. |

I don't know what to say about those who wildly blame the U.S.
for all of the worlds problems, both real and perceived. I'll only note that Mr. Feher's claim that "The USA confiscates other countries natural resources" is absurd. The U.S., like all other nations, purchases resources in a competitive marketplace. Recently, the price of most resources has been set by China, not by the U.S.. Mr. Feher should take comfort, I suppose, in the knowledge that the U.S. is actually growing weaker economically, relative to the rest of the world, every day. - Ed Kyle |

In America, Hungarians don't hate Czechs, who don"t hate Slovaks, who don't hate Croatians, etc, ad nauseum. It shows in American attitudes and politics, which have tended to be insular and isolationist until fairly recently. Whatever, all those troublemakers, misfits and desperate refugees certainly seem to have proven they can do very well given a chance as a nation I'd say? The same was once true of the British, a bunch of mongrels from all over Europe, who somehow managed to build a massive empire across the world from a tiny island at one time. Diversity and variety makes strength and fortitude in a nation I reckon, which shows up Hitlers' obsessional notions of 'racial purity' as the nonsense they are. IMHO, Tamas is simply jealous that he doesn't live here. I can't speak for him, but I'm pretty sure that much anti-US feeling throughout the world is based on that - you have nice toys and aren't afraid to show them off, and they don't like it. Instead of making their own, some of them want to break yours - or steal them. Cheers Martin |

And the rest of the anti-US feeling is probably based on the way we invade countries on trumped-up charges; lie to our own citizens as well as the rest of the world about everything from global warming to weapons of mass destruction; try to use the U.N. to legitimize our aggression when it suits us, and thumb our noses at them when they won't play our tune; and generally act like we're the boss of the whole world, even with a leader who can't correctly pronounce "nuclear."
