Why should the rest of the world care, they aren't the ones being tortured and slaughtered. They aren't the country that has assigned rape rooms for the people in power. The US is stupid for actually CARING about other people in other countries. Our bad.
This wide spread anti-Americanism is not just about Iraq, it's far more than that. Over the centuries, dominant empires flourished and died out. Though Britain owned a huge chunk of the world at one point, they were neither the richest or the most militarily powerful. All other great civilizations/empires had a balance of power somewhere else in the world. America is different. We are the only power. No one could stand against us. What we do, though for the best interest of other countries, is of our own free will. We consider the UN's opinions, but we really don't need to. That scares the living CRAP out of the rest of the world. Iraq causing this wide spread anti-Americanism? No I don't think so....it's fear and jealousy....
