And Hugo Chavez is just a bunch of hot air. It would be great of Venezeula would elect someone else.

Did I ask about Argentina specifically? I'd appreciate that if you are going to be mocking at least do it about something I actually said rather than something you said and decided to act like I said as well.

You said South Americans hate us, ok. But my guess is the question came from the riots in Argentina. And it really doesn't matter as a whole, since the reasons some Argentines have some contempt for us would be the same reasons through most of South America.

Well its not complicated for the middle east, it just revolves around the Isreal-Palestine conflict. America didn't step in and try to solve the problem, no no they just took one side, the Israeli side. They could have handled it better by trying to bring peace by not picking a side. After they sided with the Jews, all Muslims pretty much lost all faith in America.

Here is an interesting article on anti-Americanism:

(mainly about France)
Again, the problem I have with these attitudes can be summed up in the phrase,
"America has done the most good in the world in the last century and yet is the most vocally hated country today."
It's not proportionate, and like this article describes, it has little to do with contemporary American action...
But I'm still willing to listen to the reasons from some of our international members... again, America essentially likes everyone overseas, Europe, Germany, Netherlands... we even like Canada... so the animosity isn't mutual ... although if you guys keep at it it could become so.
But please, explain your reasons

Why did we need to choose sides at all? Because muslim countries decided to attempt to exterminate Israel. Israel just wants to be left alone to exist in peace.
We did the right thing by siding with Israel. America is not going to support the racist ant-semitism of muslim countries and their desire to slaughter the Jewish people, period.
You in the mideast would be treated equally when you begin showing you deserve that respect.
Your culture needs to mature, the idea that you somehow have an inherent right to America's support despite your awful behavior is a good example of the failings of your mentality.

Isreal just wants to exist in peace????? They occupy, sorry, Steal foreign land?? How would you feel if China decided to create a chineese state in america?? Then when they decide to leave their occupied territories, everyone is supposed to feel sorry for them... Well sorry not me.. The holocaust happened years ago and these people will NEVER get over it!

Yes, that's exactly what I said. And there is a big difference between the creation of Israel by the UN and China planting a new country in Ohio.
Besides, the muslim desire to get rid of Israel has little, if anything to do with stolen land or lost resources, it's prejudicial and racist in nature, and we will not support it.
