Cool, Yes I believe you are right. Somewhere around 70%. Most of us Americans know the difference between right / wrong, and good / bad. And 99 % don't live anything like what is shown on the movies or the news.

Fine The US is bad and everyone else is good. Bush didn't really get elected, he just scammed his way in and we were too busy eating burgers to notice. We don't really have a free press or opposition party to raise issues. We get our rocks off killing people around the world and are all part of a global conspiracy to steal everybody's natural resources because we are fed up paying for them. You can read the kind of information you are sending me in this country, its always there. Don't think it is exclusive information only available outside of the US. Should we learn to turn our back on oppressive regimes, stop being the biggest provider of aid? Should we forget about 20th century history and the lessons learnt. Isolationism took place in the '30's. Result WWII. People in America are appalled by the McCarthy era too, but if it wasn't for American pressure from 1944 to the Berlin wall coming down Russia would have taken over Europe. As it was a stalemate was produced, where the other side tired first. Was America perfect through that 45 year period? No. I think we get on better with Russia than Europe these days. What was the central issue? Communism versus Capitalism, just basic ideals. One system seems to work better than the other. Should America have forced a stalemate in Korea in the '50's? Was America naive getting into Vietnam as the French bailed in the early '60's? Should America have let Iraq have Kuwait? Do you think we don't know the US supported Iraq in the early '80's following the Iranian revolution when the two countries were fighting and Iran looked set to take over the middle east. Do you think we don't know that it is a miserable job trying to maintain some order in the middle east to stabilize oil prices upon which the world depends, not just the US which is less dependant than Europe. Do you think we protect Israel just to piss people off or do you think people here really worry about another holocaust. If America didn't threaten Iraq with war do you think Saddam would loose any sleep over UN sanctions? It appears to be a unifying force, hate America, clearly 9/11 was great for many. We did enjoy seeing the shots of people dancing in the streets in Palestine on the same day. The UN didn't act with Afghanistan. Should the US have gone in to put an end to the terrorist training camps there? Or do people believe that it was Bush making it all up with the help of Hollywood. Maybe Bush wanted to bring order back to the heroin trade because that's how he secretly funds his megalomania. Or maybe Bin Laden works for Bush, after we never got him, so that we'd have a good excuse to run around the world killing people out of a self manufactured sense of moral outrage. Who knows, I'd rather smoke p-- and chill. Yahoo!
