Anybody here have an opinion why us as a nation, like to attack anyone that makes a stand against us?

What are you talking about? No one makes a stand against the U.S. unless that country wants things like suppression of human rights, corruption, nukes, to fight the U.N. or  other male type bull. I am generally a mild mannered person but this question is ridiculous.

I have no problem bashing the present USA Government.  I think the people in the US ( majority of them ) are great!  I do have a problem with people who bash other countries as a whole like some of the no-brainers in here.  I am from Canada.  Say what you want about us.  But do remember when the planes were falling we did help, side and grieve along with the rest of the Americans.  Unfortunately it's comments like some in here from instigators that make close minded foriegners love to hate you. ...God Bless...p.s Bob    Your an idiot!!

I agree with you. Americans think that we can boss around every one we please. We have a severe case of nationalism, and arrogance.

yes we humans are designed to be territorial and against the ones that are not our own. We can evite other conflicts by making sure everybody feels part of the human family.

Nope -- terrorists hate us whether we are Republican or Demorcrat or nothing.  They hate that we are free and have the freedom to speak out and worship how we choose.  I'd rather have a president who is willing to take the offensive  than somone who tries to hug the terrorists and have a bomb tossed in our pocket while doing it.

People say "because they cant be trusted with them!", which is ridiculous. I dont expect they think we can be trusted with them either! \n\nWe are not the world police!\n\nI am sick and tired of Americas "DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO" attitude. Its incredibly patronising and shows a blatent lack of respect for other nations.....which, by the way, is exactly what spurs the terrorists on in the first place.

Must of us know that. It is a defense that some used. Some feel it is against the people or you would ignore the law. Ever see those questions where it said-we all break them? What kind of morals to they have? Do they truly believe that? \n You are right for many it is about country.

They hate us because of our imperialistic neo-colonialism...which strips down a country, uses its resources (ex. Iraq) and installs a puppet government bent on doing our every whim.  And I'm an American citizen but that does not make all of our country's policies correct.

You are an American and should be proud of that.  Those who hate Americans (like some of the mensa candidates who answered here) want to tear you down because when you are strong they can't bully you.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with anything that you said.\n\nTo those who say you don't serve your country because you aren't in active duty truly don't understand the sacrifices that military spouses make and they are the ones being arrogant.  Without the support of the spouses at home those in the military couldn't do their jobs.  They want all the credit themselves without sharing that with all the others that helped them get where they are.

it depends on the person....we're not all the same you know, which is a very common mistake that many foreigners make with americans, but me personally, i wouldn't want war unless mayb they actually attacked us

I believe we are fighting a war of \nPEACE THROUGH STRENGTH\n\nThe radical terrorists believe we are wrong - YES - but they also think we are weak and that is one of the reasons they attacked us.  We have to show them we are not.  Will that solve the problem  entirely - NO.  We'll work on the next phase after that.  this is not a ONE STEP war on terror.

We were involved, we were ATTACKED.  \n\nYes, you should just forget about it.  People as stupid as you shouldn't speak in public.

You are right. It is either kill or be killed. I mean, for some people, talking can do. But, for others, there are  no other means. If they want to kill you for no other reason then hating you because you are an American and they come after you, you just can't stand there. You got to fight! You got more reasons to live then they have reasons for killing you. That is how we keep America safe.

People tend to fear what they don't understand. Personally, I believe it is fear that is manifesting itself rather than hate.\n\nThat doesn't justify their actions which are often times displayed by hateful acts. Most have never seen our benevolent side. \n\nWith the onslaught of natural disasters, many of these people have witnessed first hand how quickly we, as a nation, have responded to their peril. \n\nI have read accounts of how these people were absolutely shocked that we would respond faster and with more resouces than their own government. They had previously thought we were a selfish nation... taking things that don't belong to us... forcing other to conform to our vision for their lives... They fear that they might become our next victim.\n\nThe answer is not Iraq as suggested above. There are way too many people here on Yahoo answers that want to be the first to answer a question and give no regard to it's accuracy. Their misinformation is a blithe on an otherwise great site. You deserve an answer not an opinion that isn't even backed up with the flemsiest of evidence. \n\nPardon my distain. Back to the topic...\n\nYour anticipated response would be, what can we do about it? How do we let them know that we want them to be happy, prosperous and free to enjoy life under their own terms? Well, there's not much an individual can accomplish on an international scale. \n\nTrue, there are some amazing people that have a calling it would appear and these people have proven how much good or bad one person can accomplish internationally. As for you and me, we need to take the time to examine our leaders. We need to look beyond party lines and select officials that represent our country for what it really is. A melting pot of ideas and people. A place where their way of life is acceptable as long as it doesn't infringe on another person's way of life. A nation that loves it's soldiers and can hardly bear the thought of placing them in harms way. And if we do send them into battle, there is no reasonable doubt that they are dying for a worthy cause. A cause that is international in scope rather than that of the privileged few that seem to have far too much control.\n\nWe must calm their fears.

We are subject to attack anytime, but with a leader being blown up then you might see it soon. Blowing him up is a good thing but bragging about it is not. It is not something to be proud of. It is just another aspect of war.

I've done all but show up at rallies. And only because being a member of the military I'm not allowed to say anything against the president, though in our vows we swear to defend the Constitution from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. And as far as a lot of us are concerned, Bush is an enemy of the Constitution.

That pretty much sums us up Ken. \n  \nWe are also traitors to this country for opposing the war - we really are though.
