Why anti-americanism is getting stronger?

Um. \n\nWatch the Daily Show and get some perspective!\n\nRead the news - not FOX but NEWS - the BBC is more objective.\n\nTalk to people from other countries. Try Canadians.\n\nAmerica is showing ignorance and not apologizing for mistakes that effect the WORLD. This naturally causes irritation.

It's happening right now before your eyes. The USA is becoming marginalized just like Europe and most recently England. It will be drastically apparent in about 20 years, as China begins to approach the US economy in overall size (GDP).\n\nIt is interesting to see that some Americans are starting to sense something historical is happening. Historians of the future 100 years from now, will look back at the early 1990's when China first started taking off. Yes, it has been happening for that long, but 99% of Americans just didn't pay attention, now there is no stopping China and India from becoming the center of the world for what probably will be for the rest of the existence of humanity.

well maybe you should have researched from a more historical point of view, right from the monroe doctrine to american-mexican wars to present. you will find that americans have been meddling in the affairs of other countries right from its inception, first in latin america and after WWII, in other countries (when it emerged the only unscathed and extremely wealthy nation in the world). so in the eyes of majority of people around the world, (and here i am talking about people who think for themselves, not people who are easily led by popular media, which is usually pro-US anyway), americans have always been viewed as cavalier adventureres at best and murdering cowards at best, who bomb impoverished countries from heights before moving in their army. even when the americans are not directly involved (as in physical presence of armies), they usually have a hand in almost all politics of the world, by more subtle means-economic warfare....\nall this is being exposed daily, mostly thanx to the internet, and needless to say, world opinion has turned sharply anti-american especially after the cowardly iraqi war that the yanks waged. \nso 'bad guys' yeah, americans are being considered more and more of that which is unfortunate really because the most spirited and creative resisitance to the american policies have come from within US itself. unfortunate, yes....understandable, absolutely. america is an empire, an empire in decline.\nso perhaps americans had better heed what gibbon said about sparta, a strikingly military oriented nation not very disimilar to US\n"when sparta fell, all wondered in awe, none mourned'

I think America has come along way to be more ethical and to show more humanity and humane treatment of one another because of fair labor laws, the equal rights amendment, civil rights movement, fair housing, and laws to protect people against discrimination, age, sex, and religion.  If people feel discriminated against they can just sue someone anymore.  Also, I believe American's on the whole are more educated these days.  But I have known people including myself who have been treated poorly and their civil rights stepped on by those in control and authority.  We still have alot of evil-doers in this country who are very corrupt and we unfortunately still have the "good ole boy" system in our country where money talks.  And with the treatment given to American POW's by our own American military makes me not proud at all to be an American sometimes.  Especially violating the Geneva convention.

A perfect question...and one about which I have often wondered.  I love this nation but hate the war...that only makes me anti-war, not un- or anti-american!  The modern political climate seems to have forgotten that the right to one's own opinions about our nation's government and policies, and the guaranteed freedom to express those opinions, are the cornerstone of our freedoms as Americans...so by opposing policies we find offensive, we are true Americans through and through!

That is an interesting point about America from its neighbour. It is a pity that Americans have not earned the good will of even one of his neighbours. They need to have a re look at their international relations and relations with their neighbours.

I think one answer might be that the US Republican party-- one of the furthest right promonent political parties in the developed world-- has a very strong rhetorical advantage. The US has been convinced that the republicans are the party of morality. As a person of faith I have often been told that my left-leaning political views are abhorrant to God. The communities of faith have been convinced that they are part of conservative america and are afraid to step out of line. \nIt may also be the strong emphasis on Security in our post 9-11 world. to stay secure we often forfit many of our political powers to a stronger government, short-sightedly\n\nhope this adds some insight :)

Violence towards these ppl is only going to fuel more violence.\n\nIf that is not evident by now to you and others, then I don't know how much more evidence you need.\n\nThe only way to tackle the anti-American terrorism dilemma is through some major diplomacy but mostly, through incentives.\n\nTake Palestine as an example... Palestine is impoverished, ppl are starving, etc... sanctions have resulted in this. Now ask yourself, they know they could get our aid if they just do what we say but is that making them listen to us? NO.\n\nAll that is doing is making them hate us more.\n\nInstead of bullying these extremists that will die starving before they will be 'owned', how about using the funds we put into the military on incentives for them to build their infrastructure.\n\nThink about it... if we helped Palestine build it's infrastructure and economy, would they not be grateful? Yes they would. Of course some would always fight.. but after a generation or two, you can't tell me their children wouldn't remember and start to question anti-American sentiment.\n\nThat is just one example but you the idea.

The American tends to be more ignorant, or more of an asshole.

Help?? lol of course! they are helping themselves...  America (the government) is the greatest terrorist, Hypocrite, atheist in the world from the beginning of it's existence (may be along with Britain.)\nThe people of America however are just sleep, that's all, Lot's of good people! Not realizing what evil is their government capable of!

Hate America and put your own liberal agenda to work in this country. That's whats going on now.

It looks like. In my opinion America is asking for more trouble, as if it hadn't enough. America has abused its freedom and its resources to the extend that the developing nations have started hating its dominating attitude. It's already on "war" with Iran and things are hotting up to a final nuclear holocaust.

Americans have lost fear. They are not afraid of anything anymore, and that is why they are unfortunately declining. \n\nThey think they are all powerful and rightous literaly living in a bubble they created around themselves that is shielding them from the truth. \n\nThe truth is that they are loosing to the global competitors due to thier reckless actions that have cost them thier true allies. \n\nThe continue to support the wrong sides, by Supporting the Israeli Occupation of Palestine for instance for many decades, they have created millions of enemies amongst the Arab and Islamic world, because by nature, Muslims are justice loving people, and they don't like to see another country, such as the US, supporting a violater in his act, in this case, the Zionist (Jewish Exremism) violation of Palestine. \n\nSome Americans might be afraid, but the American Administration, with "Gods" President, the self-declared "War President" is not afraid of anything, not afraid of the Rising EU, China, India, Japan, etc. \n\nSo to answer your question, unfortunately, fear does not exist in this culture, for it fears not the Lord.

Because the US of A is scared. Scared of Iran forming more allies and inspiring other countries to follow. The US of A wants to stay on top and oppress others like always.

That comparison is dated. Americans have never followed even the noblest of ideals championed by our for fathers when they are against money matters. The USA is now the puppet master that pulls the strings of over half of the world. It didn't start with Iraq. We've been doing it for over 200 years now. And it's good that we have been too. If we didn't grab up the oportunities someone else would. Look at history. Every country that gets its interior problems sorted out turn to imperialism, even our civilized cousins the French, the Belgians, the Swiss, all of them. Would you rather someone else held the whip?

The point of Americans is to unite the world and make everybody feel better.\n\nThe rest of the world are already uniting against them, and you only have to look at an American, or speak to one to feel morally and intellectually superior.

It has begun and will eventually expand and yes America is the reason. \n\nNot the ordinary people, but the acts of those treasonous fucks in power with their 200G salaries and we don't give a fuck attitudes.\n\nI believe an attack on Iran will be the catalyst for the expansion of conflict.
