Ignorance is not bliss!

Ignorance is not bliss! Do you know what happened in
Argentina? When Bush was in
Montevideo, Uruguay, the President of Venezuela, Chavez, organized a meeting against “Bush and Imperialism”. People are so stupid. The worst of all is that the Argentinean president allowed this to happen and lent Chavez a soccer court. I mean, I think that that hatred that sometimes rises in
South America is caused by envy of this country. Believe me, I come from
Argentina and people just hate US. I don’t get it why? I think it is envy, what do you think?

Two things.

1) You're probably right about envy. The U.S. is a major world power, and countries all over the world dislike us for our power, influence, and wealth. It doesn't help either that the citizens of many countries dislike our President.

2) When we got into WWII, we completely abandoned our policy of isolationism. People hate us for interfering when it seems as though we have no business in such affairs in the first place. But, if we were rich and powerful and ignored all the problems of the world, would they not accuse us of being selfish? Tough situation....one we really can't win.

Envy may be one small reason for hating the US, but that's not all. You have to think outside the box and be more open-minded.
We are fighting a War on Terrorism that has no relation to terrorism and is only increasing it. We drop bombs on other countries and yet our political leaders do not get jailed or anything, while other countries that were in war have been prosecuted. We have done many things that would anger the rest of the world that most Americans are blind to.
