Here's a question, how many nations like the U.S., not economic and trade allies such as Canada ( which believe me does not like the U.S. )?
I'll tell you, Israel.
I'm sorry to tell you, Maximus, but most Israelis don't really like the US either, and object the war in Iraq. I know that because I'm an Israeli and I read talkbacks in www.ynet.co.il all the time. Most Israelis want Israel to be completely independent from the US.

i love it how whenever theres a super american movie whoring the american flag around all the time saying how great it is, theres no one saying antyhing. but one little thing might be anti american and its some huge disgrace. gimme a break
" cocaine is god's way of saying "you're too rich" "
i dont see how this is anti-american. it does not portray americans any worse than the other countries in this movie. it is about arms dealers across the globe. there was no part that showed americans doing anything worse than anyone else. if anything, it is the opposite, other countries are prtrayed badly ( shooting jared leto in the back so many times)
Just another naive american clown having a bitch about how his country get vilainized in movies. America makes those movies! If ever there was a key ingredient for the democracy you yanks hold so dear, it is the ability to cristise yourself. Syriana is another good example. Great film in my opinion. But gets decried pretty fiercly by americans who cant take any critisism either personally or nationally. If ever there was 4th grade crap going on its with you buddy.
Addressetc. sez: "until I realized what kind of anti american bull it is. "
I sez: Anti AMURICUN? Huh? what movie were you watchin? What are you taking? I only wish this piece of tripe had any message at all, even an "anti"-USA message, and I only wish I had a bit of what you're on. It has got to be the shizit, boy, if it made you see anything at all in this P.O.S.
This flick is just a stupid, meaningless, waste of money, film, time, piece of S. There is no message. Oh wait: Cage has a new hairpiece and STILL refuses to act - that's the message. Uh, and the writers yacked off for their entire employment period. Kleenex stock musat have risen.
God on crutches in blue sequins. This is worse than Billy Jack. In fact, Billy Jack wins the Oscar in comparison.
The CIA provided weapons, money and training to the mujahadeen in Afghanistan who were fighting the invasion of the Soviet Union in the 80s. Osama bin Laden went to Afghanistan to fight with the mujahadeen against the communists. It would probably be inaccurate to say "the US government handed weapons directly to bin Laden" but, as he was in Afghanistan fighting, it's not inaccurate. Do some research if you don't believe me; the amount of influence the CIA exerted in Afghanistan may still be debated, but it can't be denied that they were there and actively supporting anyone willing to fight against the Soviets at the time.
all of you non-u.s. foreign pieces of crap are just jealous of america. there's all types of people here, from all nations, and gathered together, we kick ass. we've kicked everyone's ass at one time or another. when we see something we want, we take it. when someone messes with our way of life, we destroy them. yeah, we supply weapons to other nations, we're the only country industrialized enough to do it. we make weapons, because we use weapons, to kill evil people all over the world. sure, people make get in a few lucky punches every now and then, even ali got hit from time to time, but in the end, we're still the richest, smartest, strongest, most free, most democratic, most technilogically advanced civilization the earth has ever known. and you know what, we're still a young country. the sky is not even the limit since we're the only nation with the brains to explore space. other countries should thank their lucky stars we're not a conquering nation. any time you want to bash the u.s. for being killers and what not, you should remember that america fights the good fight, and comes back home. we don't take over other people's countries and subjugate them like most of the other heathenistic governments out there. you know why we have illegal immagration problems? because we're the greatest nation on earth. all you haters out there can spout off whatever you want, but the truth is there for everyone to see: we are the greatest. of course you'll post and post, trying to hate us, but that's too bad. you know that if the marines crept up to your border, you'd all begging to surrender. because we're the greatest. we scorch the earth and let freedom grow in our wake. all other nations exist because we allow it. in the span of a hundred years, we could have an empire to cast shadows over rome and great britain in the prime. most would just join to bypass war. you know it's true. we could annihilate russia and china, and the rest would come piece meal. at this point in history and for years and years to come, we control human civilization on earth. just learn to live with it, haters. period.
GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT FIGURES. IF YOU'RE SO SMART AND ANALYTICAL, PROVE ME WRONG. EVERYTHING ON THIS SITE IS OPINION, MORON. GO AHEAD AND DISPROVE ANY THING I WROTE WITH "FIGURES AND DATA" IF YOU CAN.
Only a sick and lumbering country could breed such a moron as you jpaulb5150. Ok i'll hand it to you, militarily you guys are on the ball. But going so far as to say America could invade and conquer Russia shows how much of a creton you are. If America did just about any of the things you listed we would all end up either dead or in a nuclear winter. Go ahead and send your marines creeping into Australia, they will have lots of desert to creep around and starve in.
Its worth mentioning also that Australia frequently beats America in war games using outdated technology. Your strength comes in numbers and air capacity, not so much skill.
