Bonoman,
Why would people in Africa or any country where someone would or choose to pick to live somewhere else pick the USA? Notice they don't pick Canada or Sweden as much as the USA. I also stated where would someone want to live BESIDES their own country. If you asked people even in prosperous countries I'm sure the USA would come out on top as the country where people would want to live. If you don't think so, who do you believe would be #1?
Actions speak louder than words or an occasional opinion poll, and based on that people still love the USA. I have traveled extensivly in Ireland and the United Kingdom and spoken to people who were there from Italy, France, and Germany. No one and I mean no one told me that they hated America. I have very good friends in Italy and they love America. They want to move to San Francisco one day. Oh and trading with someone may not mean they actually like you, but it sure as hell does not mean they hate you!
Let me inform you that without security the health of your childern won't be much of an issue, especially if their dead. A nation and its citizens cannot not survive if they are not secure first. Security comes first. I remind you that terrorist could strike in Canada at any time. In addition, a cut off of supply from the middle east would effect Canada in the same way it would effect the USA. The price of oil or energy would skyrocket, people will then have to spend more of their money on just buying energy leading to economic depression, massive unemployment, and health and other problems on a scale to make the current situation anywhere look like disney land. Thats not in anyones interest and providing more funding to defense and security is a way to prevent that disaster from happening. America does much of this and its time that the Allies stepped up to the plate and do more as well.
You love your country because it has different Ideals than mine. I guess that means you'll hate it if its Ideals are ever the same as the USA.
I never stated that people were not happy in their own countries. I stated that if people were to pick a different country besides their own as a place to live, the USA would come out on top.
If the rest of the worlds countries do not like the USA, why do they continue to purchase over 1 Trillion dollars of our goods? Why do they continue to ask us for help in many areas? Why do they try to employ American citizens in their countries? Why do they consider the USA the most important foreign market to sell goods and services to? Oh and why did the large international body, the United Nations representing all nations vote 15-0 to support the president of the United States policy on Iraq?
From that very poll, why do most Germans and Russians have a favorable opinion of the USA?
You take a few countries that have unfavorable opinions and extrapolate that into the world hates America. Thats simply unobjective and obviously false.
