Not going to be that way this time lexi.

And no US was not hated till recently.

Its a cumulative thing to be sure.

30 years of anti drug policies, spraying peoples food crops in the hopes of getting some pot killed in the name of the failed drug war...............That has starved and pissed a lot of people off.

30 years of US gas companies drilling in third world countries with no environmental regulations and dumping their waste on the ground and into the fresh water, so that now the land will not grow anything and the water is causing cancer...............................That has pissed a lot of people off.

Deciding that we don't like a countries elected leader and arming gorillas to over throw them...................................That has pissed a lot of people off.

Vietnam, Serbia the list goes on and on..............Of what pisses people off about America.

This time we neither have the economic ability or the world support for people to come looking for our help, and when we crash we need not look for the world to help we have pissed off far to many.
