Interesting question. What does America mean to you?

I'd say too many people too often confuse the attitude to the American people with the attitude to American foreign policy. Disagreeing and/or opposing some American policies (foreign policies, or even internal policies) is one thing, and being "cool" with most American people is quite another. So when I'm asked "do they/you disapprove/dislike/hate America", the natural counter-question is: which side of America? Because "America" can mean a lot of things, it has many faces and many manifestations.
