What exactly is wrong with the American government? Is it the fact that they believe in freedom and equality? Is it the fact that they believe a country endowed with as much power as ours should seek to protect the world from dictators and tyrannts?

Or maybe you are focusing on the opposite side of the spectrum. Is it the fact that our government has steeped us in debt? Almost every other major country faces the same fiscal problems. Is it the fact that we "stick our noses" where they don't belong? If we didn't, Russia may have begun another World War, or the use of nuclear power may have occurred several more times. Is it the fact that our media culture has spread around the globe? Wherever it has spread was by those people's choice; we didn't shove pop culture down your governments throat.
America,
I tend to have a negative view of the American government due to their unrelenting wars of aggression. Wars of aggression are against international law and the United States has committed them in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. The continue to break international law by threatening countries such as Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, Syria and North Korea. In the last ten years more than 2 million people have been killed by the US and its allies in foreign countries. There are many cases were US pressure and intervention has made things worse such as Eastern Europe after the end of the...

American here,
American here,
Don't worry, The majority of the new generation (those born 1960-now) of American's are not too fond of our Government either. The Baby Boomers and some of their blind offspring have been spoon fed the idea that there is really freedom here and everywhere else just sucks.

Don't get me wrong, Capitalism is a great idea. Having one profit from their own hard work and innovation makes sense to me. However, that's if Human's were perfect. This is unfortunately how any economic and political ideal goes. When it comes to human beings, if their is a way to exploit it, they will find it. Doesn't matter the country or people, there will always be someone.
America was/is really the first country to embrace the idea that anyone can live there/here. Now this is a worldly ideal, but America got the head start.
Countries fear they are losing their culture due to the spread of American culture. In America, the feeling is the same, we feel we are losing our culture to ourselves.
These are the things that they do not talk about in the news, neither world wide or even locally here in America, but are all common knowledge there/here.
Just as the Romans had the Colosseum to entertain their people to distract them about the things that are terrible, we have American idol, Facebook, McDonalds, Coca-Cola and the Wonderbra.
sad really, but again.. this is human nature. we are self-destructive.
oh and as for the troops (army, navy, etc.) most of them know all of this truth too, but they are in a different situation.. I am reminded of another song when it comes to this, it would be System of a Down's "B.Y.O.B"
another anti-american anthem... gotta love it ;]
i hav nothing against you american people, but against your government, which is what this song opposes to sorry for the bad english
