7、A recent vote of 16,000 people in 15 countries showed that the United States is widely disliked .The finding surprised many Americans.

       The Yahoo news website last week ran an opinion piece with the heading “Ahead: six decades of humiliation（不光彩）” . The author was Ted Rall, a New York-based writer.

       “The reason for our declining popularity is no mystery: Bush’s illegal war against Iraq,” said Rall. “But Iraq ,Bush’s war and instances of prisoners being beaten and even murdered aren’t completely unprecedented（史无前例的），” he went on.

       American ,in fact ,has a long history and tradition of causing hatred. It began with Theodore Roosevelt’s cruel suppression（镇压）of Pilipino insurgents（起义者）in the early 20th century. Then ,in the 1960s and 1970s, American went on to kill two million Vietnamese. More recently ,there have been a series of actions against defenseless nations like Grenada ,Panama and Afghanistan.

       “The US has become, perhaps to its surprise ,the biggest danger to peace and stability on the planet,” said Rall.

       To win the outside world’s trust, he suggested, the US could learn from Germany ,who was defeated in World War II.

       Germany’s remarkable comeback since 1945 gives a lesson for today. During the next six decades the country recovered from total defeat, massive losses , and the shame of occupation. The country concentrated first on economic recovery, then built a political society designed to cause as little offence as possible to the whole world. And finally the country is gradually ready to regain the role it played before the war.

       Now the US is the only member of its own Axis of Evil: invading（侵略）and threatening invasions, breaking arms rules ,kidnapping and murdering foreign citizens without cause , refusing to obey international rules.

       “But that will change someday-whether we’re forced to change, as was Germany ,or whether we choose a different path on our own. What’s troubling is how much time it will take for the rest of the world to trust us as much as they trust Germany,” said Rall.
