i am just saying bc i have experienced this type of bush attitude you are either with us or againsts us many times up to now.
if i recall correctly "city" comes from east germany, but talking with west germans they consider in general the american intervention as positive. both for rebuilding, and for the unificattion. france was at the time against a united germany.
the muslim cossovars also feel the same way about america. it always depends on which side u stand i guess.
but as i have said..even if some countries benefited from the USA that doesnt mean that the exlicit purpose was to help them.
It is not hard to appreciate the USA when you look at the other superpowers that have come and passed like communist USSR, nazi Germany, colonial Britain, etc. Compared to all of these the USA seems to be doing remarkably good job. My view of america has always been positive, I grew up under communism and I can clearly see the difference between the USSR and the USA.
Of course I am not naive enough to believe that the USA is entirely guided by some idealisitic principles and always thinks about the good of the world, but my perspective has always been positive.
But then my serbian friend was quite anti-american, he was from belgrade and his town was bombed by the americans.
