There was a time when nearly everyone admired the Unites States despite its shortcomings. After WW2, It had gained great advancements in technologies
and most people in the States had a way of life only the rest of us could dream of. The world watched the USA and it’s inventive and creative
people with amazement. I was brought up in England in the UK, and as children we would argue with each other, who was going to be the Americans in
the toy soldier battle. We were very poor and seeing how many people lived in the States made us envious, but not bitter.
As an outsider I can clearly see where America has gone wrong in many ways. I can honestly say, It is rare that I hear a kind word said about
America anymore. America now comes across as an hostile nation which no nation can trust, having no regard for the rest of mankind that shares the
planet with it. America no longer has true friends (nations)in the world, the friends it has are either bought or they are two faced for their own
interests. Even the UK, who tag along with everything America says, are thinking of their own interests in the relationship. The foreign policy
used by the USA has created an unstable world which will cause great problems for America and its people and the world. America had a chance to make
itself rich, powerful and truly respected by world nations, making itself a type of World Empire never seen before, but through its own greed and
lack of understanding of other cultures and political and religious beliefs, America has destroyed itself. You can build an Empire through military
force or through clever trade and investment abroad. The USA has failed the latter hence its design on countries which have vast mineral or other
resources it wants to take for free to save itself. The leaders of the USA have failed the American people and squandered the incredible wealth it
had on crazy ventures
