Does anyone think the US should start trying to make more friends?

If making friends means compromising our ethics, I don't think we need friends like that.  The countries you mention have horrible human rights policies.  Sometimes you just have to stick to your principals and not worry about your popularity.  Those are the ones that ultimately get respect.  The suck ups get short-term benefits but lose any hope of long term respect.  Look closely and the same thing holds true for people.  Notice that the people that are all concerned about popularity tend to be mostly fluff and little substance.

I'm not sure what else to tell you, except to keep practicing, and learn from those around you. With time, you'll pick up the way socializing in the US works. Don't get too frustrated, and keep trying, you'll get there!

I don't know. They haven't involved in military activities since WW2 until recently. But I think we can give them a chance, besides do you think we can fully trust USA? It's a good way to make a balance of power (without having a cold war).

Most Americans are very open and friendly.\n\nJust talk to us, and ask us questions. \n\nShare your world, and most of us will be happy to share ours.

No.  We are a social species.  Try therapy instead of technology.  And dont forget to go to your H.S. Reunion....you need the socialization.

No, I foresee no real friendship bestween the U.S. and China. It is NOT in the cards. The friction between the U.S. and China will, in the future, get worse and China will take Taiwan also in the future and that will be the "straw that broke the camel's back".  Even an interpretationo of the bible says that the two countries will never be "friends".

I agree. We're waaaaaay too involved with the business of other countries. There's so many more things on the homefront that should be focused on, but the gov't is too worried about foreign diplomacy. We need to take care of ourselves before we can even think about aiding others. \n\nWe also need alternative fuel/energy sources. badly.

I think it will have to for us to move forward as a nation. Our foreign policy over the last 20 years has been to use threats of everything from sanctions to threats of war. Then on the flipside rewarding other countries with cash payouts rather than fair trade. Diplomatic and Economic disaster is what follows such habits. We need to make a new start in a new direction and level the playing fields.

They should try to talk to people more. The more comfortable you become talking to a small group of people, the sooner you will realize its not that much harder to talk to anybody and everybody you want to.

He's my president, I might not like everything he and his administration are doing, but we have to put up a united front so that we won't appear weak to other countries. We don't want other countries laughing at us now. Do we?

Hey, it may be a good thing if there is another country out there that would support us once the USA is a third world nation due to the massive amount of people allowed or not allowed to migrate. After all we've supported everyone else for a very long time while our own citizens suffer from hunger and neglect so I suppose turn around would be fair. I'd like to sit on my a_s and have the 'good' working people of some far off land give me shelter, food and free medical care.

CHILL DUDE.\ni'm from UK and i personally think the Americans are great i've met quite a few and found them all to be polite and friendly and very warm people.\nWhat you say we think about you may apply to some but then again there is no shortage of that kind of people in the UK too,and probably any country you can think of.

No. We are spread pretty thin right now. How many wars or peace keeping missions do you think that we can handle at one time? Let us try to to do all we can to try to prevent any more wars with other nations. We need to clean up our messes in Afghanistan and Iraq before we can get involved with another country.
