US sticks its nose where it doesn't belong (Score 2, Interesting)

The world doesn't hate the US because it has money, nor because of the new globalization of the economy.

They hate the US because Americans because they stick their noses everywhere it doesn't belong.

America is the only country in the world which prosecutes non-citizens for breaking American laws in countries outside their own. Two examples comes to mind: Dmitri Sklyarov with the DCMA (whom /. knows only too well), and James Sabzali for selling water purifiers in Canada to Cuba being prosecuted now in Philadelphia. (The funny bit is that there is a Canadian law (Canada's Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act) which prohibits Canadians from abiding by the American embargo -- meaning that while in Canada, James Sabzali was would be committing a crime if he abandoned Cuban sales due to the American embargo).

Wanna keep the world happy America? Consider your actions on the rest of the world. Stop the international policy of invading smaller countries because of US self interest (Nicaragua, Cuba, Vietnam... God does the list goes on and on). Abide by international treaties even the US has agreed to (UN fees, Kyoto protocol... hell, even NAFTA and WTO you disregard when it doesn't favor you). And by all means, rid the world of the idiot you put into power: Bush.

Yeah, troll me cause I'm unamerican.
