don't hold that belief, either, on a global scale, although in the case of Palestinian terrorists I would argue that there is a lot they have done that has fed into the terrorism they are facing. Most people ignore the participation of the supposed victims of the U.S. foreign policies. The U.S. acts in its own self interest. That's the way it should be. I'd suggest that those countries that don't want to be influenced by the U.S. should stop buying U.S. products, stop watching U.S. movies and TV, Stop accepting foreign aid and stop accepting U.S. protection. And maybe it is the governments of these countries that allow these things to happen and not the people, but in that case, their beef is still with their own government. Bush administration has conducted its foreign policy in the past year that alienated pretty much all their allies. Perspective is important. The way I see it, there are a bunch of countries out there that have conducted foreign policies that alienated the U.S. as an ally. That is an interesting dilemma, considering that they owe their long rule to the physical support of the US, who has close (oil) ties with them. A very interesting dilemma indeed. And proof that the current administration understands that every problem doesn't require a hammer to be fixed. But sometimes a hammer is a good place to start.
