All very good reasons not to ever like America.
You can have whatever opinion you like, but having a nation declare its independence from a monarchy to form a nation based on the progressive ideals of the day, to have that be a reason to hate a country? I thought we were supposed to applaud stuff like that if it happened today. Unless, of course, you're of the mindset that anything America does is a reason to not ever like it. I think the US is in the place now where she'll be hated no matter what she does. If she stays out of Darfur, she condones genocide. If she intervenes militarily, she is an imperialistic aggressor. If she trades with China, she's propping up a dictatorial regime and undermining native workers. If she doesn't trade with China, she must be racist, isolationist and xenophobic. Obviously the US has made awful domestic and foreign policy blunders, but now we're going to go all the way back to the nation's creation for reasons to bitch? Man, give me a break.
