Don't take this personally, but I think the above is right.

Americans if you know any personally are genuienely nice people (funny etc, much like any other race). But you ask the question of non-Americans, ie. foreigners to America, and there in lies the whole problem.

America's foreign policy and behavior per se when outside America - it ain't looking good !

Lets get it straight, America cares about America.

The rest of Europe and other nations realise "no man is an island" - and you guys don't get out enough.

As I say the americans I've encountered/known are great people.
