a few questions someone might be able to ansnwer this for me

1)how many of you guys have left this country and went to a 3rd world country just to see how many of these people live?



Pick a continent (with the exception of Australia) and I'll glady give you at least one example of where I've been and what I've seen, both good and bad.

2) why do they hate united states so much(keyword united states not you or i)



Envy that the same opportunities and luxuries AREN'T afforded their country, for the most part...
...Which is USUALLY a condition brought about the corruption, misrule, ethnic hatred, ignorance of their own government.

Many countries of course point to the massive debt they've piled up and blame anyone but themselves for it. It's easier that way. It's human and political nature to put the blame on everyone else's shoulders except the one that should be bearing it...

I'll not say that US policy has been entirely benign (it hasn't in a number of cases), but it's a FAR cry from the "Devil" that most countries claim.

I've absolutely NO clue as to where you were going with that, but OK...

So have I and I've found out that it depends on who controls the media, the level of education (or ignorance) in that society and a WHOLE slew of other things that have little to do with what the US did or is doing to their country. Damn-well near half the 3rd-world expects a handout from wealthier entities, regardless of their stance on human rights, governmental corruption, political and/or social reform. The fact that they very well may need and require this assistance doesn't preclude them from the FACT that they need to shape up before ANYBODY starts pouring money or support into that political entity. Otherwise, it's like giving a junkie money; you're just feeding a BAD habit and making matters WORSE.

The UN Assistance programs, The Red Cross and other orgainizations like that I've no beef with in terms of their non-political support that they offer the needy, just so we are clear on this.

It's the long-term loans, economic and infrastructure assistance and aid that so many countries rail about and when they are shunned for their abysmal governing policies, they turn to their state-controlled media and concoct some sob-story about how the US is "holding them down"...

Propaganda runs both ways. Don't let your sympathies blind you to this fact. I've seen it in Africa, Central and South America and in Europe...
