That's rather funny IMO, because I hate the USA too, but not one of my reasons involves foreign policy.

I love my country ... It has faulted many times, but there is no other place I would rather be.

That's because you are living in only country in the world which isn't being screwed by the US on regular basis.

i'm going to 7-11. anybody want anything?

>JM<

actually it was the British that overthrew the prime minister of Iraq in 1953, we've been doing similar things to the poor bloody country since 1918, and it doesn't look like it'll ever stop

(Sarcastically) Yep the US did it all. Its all the US's fault right? You act like the US is the worst country and no other country deserves what they get or does anything bad. Why don't you look in the perspective of this country and realize that some people deserve what they have coming to them. Provacation and terrorism also plays a factor in why the US does all that shit. Yea you hate the US but you act like it's the whole US's fault. The past is the past and nothing can be changed.

haha, our people are so ignorant
its beacuse in our schools they only teach you the positive things about american history
