Many people revel in loving to hate America. Some say that this hate has flowered into a favorite past time for many a disgruntled lot. Well, what ever is your viewpoint, I am sure, you have your reasons.
I am rather indifferent to such expressions of hate and love. I don't hate America. However, its foreign policies remain largely unacceptable and its attitude to some of the issues like pollution, environment, arms race, Israel and nuclear control is appalling, immature and short sighted.
Yet, I say - without any fear of contradiction - I do admire America and like Americans. I am no America-hater, but do not indulge in over simplistic uttering of George Bush and likes... ‘American way or the highway’.
We have to take a note of the fact that America has over exploited the initial doctrine of Grand Isolation to the hilt and interfered everywhere to suit its shortsighted gains.
If America is to redeem itself, it has to realize (and same goes for its bitter critics) and accept that it is an important leader in the world community... but America needs to embrace this role with sagacity, seriousness and without typical western biases.
I would encourage the readers to visit an interesting link below to get some insight on the issue...
