With all due respect mirevolver, I think a lot of other countries dislike the U.S. for this very reason. The fact that many Americans, as well as some of our leadership, doesn't take into consideration the livelihood the rest of the world. You mentioned Sept. 11th as a pivitol point in the decision to go to war and that other countries shouldn't compare themselves to us unless they go through what we do: well, there were plenty more people from other countries that died that day. In addition, Americans are not the only people having beheadings by extremist terrorist groups. The decisions that our president has to face are NOT only U.S. issues, but issues that the entire world has to live by. We should be setting an example, not ostracizing ourselves from everyone else because we think our problems supercede everyone elses. Therefore, I don't mind someone else writing a letter to me to help me better understand how the decisions my county makes will affect the way they live their life.
In fact, I wish more people from around the world would create a much larger letter writing campaign to help educate our fellow Americans. Then, it will help people to make educated and informative decisions when it comes to voting instead of self-serving decisions that affect only themselves. Perhaps when some Americans start pulling their heads out from their butts, will the rest of the world begin to appreciate what we are doing over here. My 2 cents....
