Can't say I agree with you there RangerDick. America is not the most desirable country on Earth. I honestly think that Australia may challenge that.
Only speaking from my limited experience but there are a lot of people that dislike the US. Many Australians don't think highly of the US's arrogance at all. We also question America's intentions in IRAQ.
The recent Tsunami saw America initially only offer a very limited amount of financial support. This was picked up by the press and I heard a number of people saying "well there isn't any oil there for America to steal"
America seems to think that it is their responsibility to "cleanse" other parts of the world yet you only have to watch the news to see how their own backyard could use some attention.
Just my personal view. No offence intended.
