I think one thing should be clarified...

This might make a great deal of difference to those persons that don't live in America.

The thinking about American companies... is flawed.

This is about American companies that do business outside America. Those companies are interested in one thing, make a profit and there is nothing about patriotism or being an American company that interests them. They may have Americans working for them, and they really use that to keep Americans dumb about them being AMerican companies. They get behind that "being American" to give them preferred treatment in America.

They do that because years ago we had global markets and they were true American companies even when they did business overseas. The development of communications, cheap transportation and spurious trade agreements has turned them into profit takers of the worst sort. The American governments role is to protect and defend the interests of Americans... just like the governments role should be for any country.

In the past few years the influence peddlers (lobbyists) in Washington have increased about 1,000 times. Their job is to promote private special interests and the politicians in Washington are now just whores for their dollars. There is real trouble on the horizon for American people, and it may take major action by the American people to do something about the instability created by the self serving interests of these companies and government that is subverting the will of the AMerican people.

Those companies operating outside America that have plants in America are the worst violators of American Sovereignty and any country they do busines. They exploit illegal immigrant workers, and offshore every job they can. They hire subcontractors that exploit children as workers in some foreign countries,etc. They may be called American, because years ago they may have actually been American companies... that is no longer the case.

One of the largest so-called American Poultry producers is now arranging to send live chickens to China for killing and processing and then shipping them back to America for sale. Walmart is a huge importer of foreign products, and that may sound good to someone in a foreign country. The problem is Walmart is only doing business at dirt wage levels with any country it does business with.

America is the largest consumer market in the world, and with our network of highways, airways and railways it has the most accessible distribution facilities to move goods to the consumers. This efficency to the markets makes every multi-national company want to push for product sales in America.

It is not about AMerican companies it is about multi-national companies taking advantage of every possible opportunity to make more money. Those companies influence and buy the politicians in American and foreign countries.
They manuever with government officials at the highest levels with one purpose in mind "Make Money". They care less for the economy, welfare, wealth, health care, jobs of any country and there is nothing "deep down inside" American about them.

Effectively, they are so influential they make people in other countries think their hateful policies are American policies.

The purpose of governments is to keep these kinds of things from happening, but it is tough. These companies have huge profits and the more profitable they become the more difficult they are to do anything about. They can buy more and more influence with the money the make.

America has a problem and until something is done more and more people from outside America will think negatively about Americans, but they are hating the wrong people. We are having a problem with those multi-national interests/companies as well.

I hope I explained that.

The stupid terrorists are targeting the wrong people, it's not about Americans, British, Spanish, etc. It's about the blatant and abuse tactics and strategies being applied by multi-national interests that disrespect countries, governments and the people of any country to make money. The sad part is their own countrys' leaders are just as guilty of taking advantage of their own people. The despotic leaders point at America to divert attention from themselves and encourage anything that protects or defends their own influence and power. One Middle East country has spent billions financing radical islamic teachings in Pakistan, Indonesia,etc. The purpose being to preserve archaic religious beliefs that give them power over their people... religioous belief is a powerful motivator.
