>There are a lot of good reasons to hate the US, like i said they've done bad things, and screwed up a lot of people's lives, that's why my friends have the opinions they do. On the other hand I think that many of them are overly critical of US action, because of the opinions they have already formed, and I also think that they don't see that most of the time the rest of the world is just as bad if not worse.<
Do your friends hate the US citizens or the US government. There's a very, very large difference you know...
