I believe Americans are aware of how they are seen abroad. Many of us do not support the actions of our government and have tried to work within the system to change things. But just like any other country, the system is corrupt. Our frustration level is high and demonstrations have occurred opposing the war.
I, personally, am very concerned for our country. I was shocked as to how the "election" went in 2000. It smacked of manipulation and corruption. This country has not been a democracy for some time now. Things need to change drastically. I wonder how much more needs to happen before the rest of the country wakes up.
