I watched the american presidential debate and was almost screaming out loud when nobody seemed to understand what Ron Paul was saying. Nobody seemed to understand why the USA have to take responsibility for its actions around the world.

"I learned after 9-11 how most people in other countries truely hate or dislike America. "
... hey ... whoa ... that is NOT the case.
When the attacks happened the entire world was hugely shocked. Just about every country on earth was with the USA in the weeks after September 11th. China, Russia, the EU, OAS, NATO, the UN ... everyone was lined up with the US. In our town (in Scotland) we helped the local fire brigade with their efforts to raise funds for the NYC families & in the years since many NYC family members have been made very welcome over here.
It's Iraq which has so divided the world. Not the events of September 11th.

Two very quick points. But there was another attack after 911, another airplane going kablooey over the bronx two days later which is why we all take our shoes off at the airport now. Also Earthman 4 makes a valid point. I believe sprout may very well be afraid of a military coupe. I'd sure rather see Powell running this country then saudi affiliated oil barons with a long track record of mucking things up. I wouldn't want to be at any poker table with six nukes on the line. I love how the gov said they were 'low yield', another ringer.
