Ask HN: What are Americans seen as on the world stage?
I think it depends.<p>I traveled in Eastern Europe in 1999 and got a lot of abuse from train conductors and the like who did not like our air war in the former Yugoslavia.  I think people in Ukraine, however, appreciate what we are doing for them today but wish we would do more.<p>Indians seem to like the US enough that many of them want to come here, but they have an awful time with the immigration authorities here and I know many of them feel bad about that.
