Kat has a wonderful voice, but she was inconsistant in her vocals. She is only 21, gorgeous, and will have a great career. Don't be mad about it. I love Taylor's voice, attitude, and style. I think he deserved it.

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.

Yes,  We as Americans should be very concerned about world opinion.  My girlfriend went on a vacation to Australia not long after we met.  She noticed a little hostility from some of the people from other countries that were in their group.  These ultra conservative "cowboy" extremest are giving us a very bad image around the world.  I stumbled across a website for a German band .........  I think it was Ram-stein but I'm not sure.  I was shocked and appalled at all the anti U.S. statements. \n      I once got into a discussion at a bar with a girl from Czechoslovakia she told me that Americans in general were uninformed and often deceived by our media.   We are the most powerful country in the world right now our problems are the worlds problems and visa verse.  We as Americans have a responsibility to know whats going on in the world (not just what FOX news tells us) and act accordingly.

*sigh* Ok two things......\n\nWe wonder why middle Easterners don't have an accurate impression of Americans, and then we do this? Hmmmmm. Maybe they DO have an accurate impression afterall. \n\nSecondly, at least when we build something mammoth locally, it is put up for referendum. Did our lovely Senate give the go ahead for this?? \n\nAll of a sudden I feel I lost my voice. \n\n(p.s. I had no idea you were a teacher! Dang....do your students roll their eyes at your puns as much as mine do? haha)

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.

he seems to be thinking more in terms of the "country" and the "economy" than in terms of "what's good for Americans"\n\nwhat's good for the economy isn't always what's good for Americans... sometimes it is... sometimes it's not... \n\nit can be a dangerous trap to fall into... in my opinion...

No country is perfect.\n\nAnd no country is above criticism.\n\nFunny how so many Americans don't seem to understand that.....

Nope.  In fact, as is typical of short sighted america, our actions while having the intent of bringing stability to the region, actually brought significant instability.

No, especially considering the fact that would make the average American a hypocrite.\n\nWhoops, already happened.

What was the question??

yeah, America is often viewed as the country filled with people who are uneducated and have no clue what is going on around them. \nI heard a comment from a comedian, he said,\n"As a whole the U.S. is a country filled with idiots, but as a whole they are genius; Russians on the other hand are all Einsteins, but as a whole you can't find a dumber group of people." \nIt's sad, but somehow true, for example, try asking an Average American what the capital of Italy is, or even France. Americans don't care about what is going n in Dafur, in fact 95% probably didn't even hear about the country. Or ask an American to place Iraq on the map... and we are at war with this country!\nThere is nothing that anyone can do about that. But the fact that we are the most individualistic country in the world has something to do with that. People just don't care, they would rather watch American Idol, then worry about what is going on in Congress. Arrogance... \n\nOne day the political arrogance and ignorance of the general population will get us into trouble...

They got back what they said was stolen from them!Back around 1947 me thinks! Good Luck! Its only these superstitious groups of simpletons who think this way,The united States would control all of Europe and all the islands in the pacific,Philippines,Japan,the list can go on and on.You people need to work this out without this superstition or the US should take all your land and end this stupidity.I am beginning to think,after reading this bullshi* that all religion is evil because you all think the other is bad wrong and evil.LOOK IN THE MIRROR! Nobody owns anything this place is Gods!

Okay, I must say that stupid responses by stupid people (American or otherwise) only gets people angry.  How do you people expect to earn any sort of respect from the other side if you say stupid things?  Now, on with the answer to your question.\n\nHowever, you will need to know a little about American history first.\n\nAmerica was founded as a Christian country.  Christian values include the freedom to do whatever you want, as long as it was morally okay with God.  However, as America became more technologically advanced and more "educated", we have become less dependent on God (and therefore have fewer morals).  The first and most important in American values now is that everyone should be free to do whatever they want, whenever they want.\n\nSo throughout American history, American has fought against countries and governments who oppress their people (Vietnam, Korea).  They also have fought against countries who threaten to harm others who have done nothing wrong (Germany, Japan, Italy in WWII).  American kind of became the world's policeman for freedom or "injustice."\n\nSo now, onto Israel.  America feels that Israel, which is a democratic nation, has been attacked and threatened by Arab countries.  America feels it must defend countries that are democratic, where people have freedom of choice.  That's why it has supported Israel.\n\nAnother example, American has said it would defend Taiwan if China were to take back that country.  China is communist.  Taiwan is a democratic republic.  However, China says that Taiwan is a rebel province.\n\nAmerica has said that North Korea is one of the "Axis of Evil" countries--but so far Korea has not threatened war with anyone.\n\nOn the other hand, Iran has said before that it supports Hamas, and said it wants to destroy Israel.  The US feels that they cannot allow Iran to have nuclear abilities because they do not trust that they will not use it against Israel.  And again, the US supports democracies, wherever they are.\n\nOf course, it is much more complicated than this, but that is the general idea.\n\nAs far as leaving Iraq, I don't think they can until there is stability in that country.  I don't think that will be anytime soon.  I think it was a huge mistake to go to war with Iraq.  There was no reason to go to war in Iraq.  They went to war in Iraq based on WRONG INFORMATION.  However, if America was just to leave without fixing it, that would make it worse than it is now.\n\nPolitics is very complex.  I know, you as a Muslim see things differently.  I know that Muslims have faced many atrocities too.  I can understand where you are coming from also.  As for something you can do, I really don't know though.  I suppose prayer is one thing.
