I agree, but I still want everyone to understand that I and (most of) the US population don't have issues with people from other countries, but with their governments and that includes our own. Mostly due to them being fair weather friends or believing that the USA should support them somehow, yet it's suddenly wrong or unfair for the US to put its own people first.

I have lived, worked and/or fought in Panama, Colombia, Honduras, Argentina, Bosnia, Hungary, Germany, Philippines, Macao, Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia (not just deployed to all of them) and I have friends from every one of those countries even some that were on the opposite side of the conflict with the US.
It is the governments that are the issue because they only look out for "government" not their country and unfortunately most people equate patriotism for their country the same as for "their party or leader" and then it makes everything seem like a pissing match between the populations instead of between governments. Sometimes governments, like children need to understand the consequences of their actions.
