How has the US lost respect from the world after interfering in the Vietnam war?

Add New Argument

By seeming to be arrogant and intrusive and incapable of minding its own business. :)

I said seeming to be; not actually being.

By looking weak, apologizing for justifiable actions, getting too involved internationally, and being the World Police. The best thing to do is to remove ourselves from the UN, NATO, and keep a minimal international presence.

By acting like we own the world. Each nation needs to take care of their own before they help others, or they will die out. I see why my mother opposed the war.

I don't think the way rest of the world thinks about American people has changed but the way they think of the US government and policy is due to as others have pointed out America feeling it needs to police force the world and foreign policy is little more than acting like a bully in the sandbox. I also think that the stories that came out of Vietnam and the way it was perceived that the veterans of that war were treated on their return hasn't helped, but then trust and respect for governments worldwide has declined over the years and if someone doesn't trust and respect their own government their not likely to trust someone else's.
