It's a message board, after all, and people are free to post their opinions. However, having an opinion does not mean you know how things work in foreign countries.

A valid point Min. I guess I should feel a little more free to share how I feel about archaic monarchies and the strained relationship they have with neighboring island countries. Except that, hmmm, the information I have is at best, partial, and most likely biased, and of course, there is always the fact that ... I don't LIVE there and could never understand the dynamic of living in someone else's country.

Of course other countries don't know how the US works, but it seems the american rating agencies do know enough to rate other countries debt as 'trash', not by any objective or scientific criteria, but because they feel the said country wont be able to honor the debt. And although all the European countries expressed their outrage about those vile actions, the US government said... nothing. I understand, I too am not troubled by the others ordeals

And you still wonder wy it is easy for some people to dislike the US. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in the bandwagon of "lets badmouth the Americans", as it is clearly a sweeping generalization. Anyway, it saddens me these news about the James Webb telescope.
