<In many respects, viewed from the little guy's point of view, the USA is a bully, waving the big stick and expecting obedience. That engenders contempt and many people around the world feel that contempt.> This is precisely the problem we face -- and not just in relation to "little guys" -- as the world's sole "superpower", the US treats all others as lesser nations. We have alienated ourselves from the peoples of other countries around the world by waving the big stick and expecting obedience -- including people from "allies" such as Germany, France, Russia and so on.
