Other Countries views on the U.S.

we've definatly lost a lot of luster.

 

I don't care what they think about something we value...like dogs. All different cultures have different values. Some seem strange to others.

I care about how they view us as a neighbor and a partner in the world.

 

I hope they think we are sexy.
and tall.

 

With the exception of maybe 1 or 2 countries, It has become very negative since 2000.

 

The predominant theme I keep hearing on the perception of Americans is that they are grossly overweight/fat.

 

OK, well how do you think other countries view us in that aspect?

 

Huh? Never heard of something like that... .

 

They can harbor a slight loathing or disgust for our culture, but what really matters is how they react to our hundred billion dollar defense industry. A happy minor partner is more willing to front money and occupational support while opening up their borders for airspace and transport.

That aspect has been lacking in the last 6 years.

 

They love lindsay lohan, but hate U.S foreign policy.

 

varies from country to country.

 

Give us the breakdown.

 

Yet at the same time, they are voracious consumers of that culture.

 

I care very little how other countries view the US, as long as they trade with us and don't attack us. Call it laissez-faire foreign policy.

 

They hate us because we're beautiful.

 

France and I think Germany just elected pro-American heads of state.

These leaders made a point of building a stronger relationship with the US.
