What happened to America....good question...\nI don't know if America will ever be what it once was....however, for it to try it has to face certain challenges in the 21st century.\nEssentially, America's greatest challenge is simple - itself. You. The person who throws around political terms such as ‘secular progressives’, ‘neo cons’, ‘libs’…all of these are detrimental to the greater good of Americans. The only way America can be hurt is by hurting itself, which it is currently doing in the mid-east...and has on a global scale since the Vietnam war. The hypocrisy of American politics is directly responsible for any misfortune that happens to the USA. Whether it be arming Saddam in the Iran-Iraq war, or the disasters of South American foreign policy/current problems with Chavez/socialism, giving North Korea technology in the 90s...Iran...\nall of these countries pose as a 'threat' to the American ideal because of reactionary politics towards the US . America's biggest enemy is it's 'pimp and hoe' foreign policy; it is it's media that does not show true violent images of Iraq, in an attempt to keep its people unaware of the reality of war. It's in the illusion that the most powerful superpower the world has ever seen is indeed that powerful - when domestically almost 1/6 of Americans cannot afford healthcare and live on the poverty line. It's in the illusion of divisive politics - wherein pundits debate not for the betterment of their country, but for their own agendas/egos. It's in the hypocrisy of embargoing Cuba, but trading with Communist China at a rate unprecedented in both countries histories. It's in the sensationalist entertainers that grace TV and movie screens everywhere to distract and condition it's public into thinking that we will all be movie stars, NBA players, pop stars....'Idols'...instead of having the public form a legitimate culture and become educated (not just in schools)\nAmerica's greatest challenge is confronting its own ugly underbelly in both politics/foreign policy and contemporary culture...then, and only then can America improve it's image globally, and develop its infrastructure in which all truly still have an opportunity to live comfortably - not just the elite. That, my friends, is America's greatest challenge. Not Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Liberals, Conservatives...\nAmerica needs to confront both the greatness of its history and its ugliness. America is the greatest melting pot in the world, which, in history, has prided itself on the tolerance of other peoples. Today, xenophobia is rampant, and pundits speak, not for their country, but their own beliefs. \nAmerica needs an Age of Reason, not religion. And then, and only then, will it be able to confront the challenges it faces in the 21st century.

Americans. A dangerous precedent has been set by the recent criminal republicans that question any form of dissent and if you are brave enough to disagree with their ideology, you are labeled as anti-American, or subversive. This hysterical reaction starts with Bush and his Goons and trickles down to the local levels of government. Of course this is more pervasive in certain areas of the country, i.e. bible belt. Their will be a lot of healing needed with our next president as this one has caused our country serious damage with his flawed ideology. The deprogramming of America begins in 2008.

Americans do understand the complexity's of this issue.They only need a leader to set things in motion,a catalysts to motivate them into action.I'm not sure if it will help or make the issue even more violable.When I talk to others that I meet in my travels I see a passion behind their words that I hadn't seen before.They are angry and want to do something to help preserve our American way of life.I know this is like a festering sore ,that needs to be cauterized.By uniting with other Americans perhaps a solution to this problem can be found.Action is the response not the motivation.My tax dollars are being tossed away on people that hate this country and any thing American.

Fear is a powerful tool... people give up their freedom for it... and if America gives up it's freedom, then it's not America anymore... you can't let fear (of Communism or Terrorism) dictate who you are and how you do things... if you do, then they have won...

We've tried fighting terrorism, but started a war against the wrong people, we'd like to think we're more secure, but we aren't, and we've generally upset the world community.  Our economy is plunging and there is a great unrest among Americans and the world against America.  Our government doesn't seem to do anything right and now they have the lowest approval ratings in history.  Basically, the US is going to hell in a handbasket.  So much so that I want to go live in Canada or Australia...and I'm a US Veteran.

There are alot of people that that think the country is in trouble, I am sure that even some of the people in congress knows that we are. We have a president that is trying to take power away from the other branch's We have a stupid war that we are involved in and people around the world hate us as a county. The economy is in a shambles and it is ok to ignore out own peoples needs to spend trillions over seas. If that isn't trouble I wonder what is. Remember this though the American people as a whole are good people and we will survive yes we will survive.

Hate is a powerful word...an emotion that can cause harm to others. It obliterates good judgement, changes decent people into obnoxious (and sometimes violent) individuals/mobs.  It is sad when people, who need to be right all the time, think they are.\n\nAmerica is not "pure and without sin".  I know you were just trying to point out that America is as good as it gets (and I agree), but America is run/influenced by individuals who are sometimes motivated by self-serving interests rather than looking out for the good of the country.  So, in some instances, America does not come off looking like the great nation it is/should be.\n\nAmerica has strayed from it's founders' ideas for a great nation, which was based on Christianity.  We were great when Christianity was at the head of this country.  Because believing in God and following his word does not allow certain behaviors (encouraged by the devil, himself), there are those who have chosen to "change" what is right to fit their wants and desires.  Sin catches on easily...so, we are becoming a mess...and it shows to Americans and to other countries.  (Of course, jealousy is a common thread too).\n\nWe still have a great country, but we are in need of some good, old fashioned values.  We need to follow God's rules and get back into shape.  It will take some doing, but those that believe need to stand up and say, "This is my America too, and we will follow God/Christianity!"

the total sum of U.S politics is indefinable with a single word, the U.S contains a diversity of opinion from communist parties to fascist parties. However if you want to generalize; well just look at the government they elected, neo-realist / neo-conservative politicians, the same creed that have always maintained a vice like grip on the central executive. You also have to look at the party system, there is only one party in America, the corporate nexus party, the republicans and democrats just have different business interests. There is also the factor of religion, we are talking about a nation of self hating puritans - extremely conservative, racist, armed to the teeth and afraid of anything new or different. I suppose if you were to compare America with other liberal democracies in Europe, it;s clearly the most conservative. I am personally disgusted by the patriotic sensationalism bound to American culture, it's not their fault but it's still pretty repugnant, Americans are generally raised as flag waving, god fearing, isolated, and extremely ignorant young people, and this simply has to change if the world is to stand a chance, it's the most important country in world politics - they need to start getting things right.

I completely agree with you. There is entirely too much anti-Americanism. Being a Canuck myself, I have nothing but respect for the American people. Now, having said that, here comes the reason for the US bashing that is happening all around the world.\n1. America has become the police of the world, and many people would choose their own bad governments rather than a just and benevolent foreign government.\n2. That just and benevolent government mentioned above is strangely missing from your country. I always found the US Constitution to be a thing of genuine beauty. Does it not say that you are responsible to throw off such governments that detract from the rights of the people?\n3. American Foreign Policy, for the protection of American business interests, not the mutual betterment of all nations.\n4. The attitude that Americans have about their culture and country. The self proclaimed best country on earth, sounds arrogant, and nobody likes an arrogant person.\n5. The fear mongering being put forth by the American media machine. Hasn't anyone noticed that the hard won rights of the individual are disappearing in the name of security? I hope you enjoy living in your police states of the future.\nAs for a Third World War, where can we stand? In line with Bush's for or against policy? If that is my choice, then I must stand against. I now, always have and always will stand against tyranny and evil, even when that repression is claimed to be for my own safety. \nAs for wanting into the US, because you have greater freedoms than most, but not all.

Well let's see.  As we the citizens are required more and more often to change our ways to appease someone else and not the other way around as it should be, I think America is being assimilated.  Like the Borg say, "Resistance is futile!"  Something needs to be done to stop all this nonsense.
