the world is set up in levels, there are levels of hierarchys that are part of human mentality. Trailer trash hate Certain minorities, Arabs hate jews, and everyone hates their boss, no matter how nice he is. The USA is the rich guy, boss of the world and because that those below us dislike us. They love the culture, the buy Nike's and watch Bruce willis movies, but the hate us. kinda like the racist who loved Micheal Jordan. Hate has to do with the haves and have not's of the world. when one country has as much power politicaly, economicly, millitarily and culturaly we are bound to be hated. The USA is not perfect, we dont do evrything right, and we often make errors in political judgement. However what is the alternative? Should we allow Muslim fanaticiscm rule the world? or autocrats? Who deserves the job of world cop, judge, jury, enforcer etc? The people in IRAN, CHINA, Saudi Arabi who point fingers at the big bad USA are all NON DEMOCRATIC, HARSH regimes that 50 times worse then the USA could be on the worst day. SA,Irean, Iraq,China, Syria or whatever other nation you think is so glowing with fairness and justice as to have the responcibilty of the USA. You are obviosly not American, and only see things in terms of the Palestinian-Isreali Conflict. The fact that the USA chooses a DEMOCRATIC nation over fanatical fundimentalist's is the correct thing to do. The Isreali's and the USA have gone beyond their way to appease the Arabs in Isreal. The ARABS do not want any part of it. The are destroyers not unlike the barbarians sacking ROME. The Arab world for the last 50 years has produced nothing but war, Famine ,Disease and OIl. They have nothing so they wish to destroy others who try to create build and think. So the USA tries to protect those nations that maintain democratic principles, and create beeterment for their citezens. What do Arab Govt's do for their people? Buy Bentley's and F%ck western prostitutes? Give me a break. The united States is hated because it is in the unfourtunate position of having to babysit alot of useless countries. Frankly Ive had enough of your nonsense about the EVIL SATAN you seem to think is AMERICA. WIthout America the world would be a dismal place still stuck in a dark age. As for why people hate us, I say its not our problem. People will hate others for rational and irrational reason's. I am sure there are many who hate me, hate others for no good reason except that they are smarter or richer or their wife is hotter. If I lived in a HUT with no sewage, with a wife that had to wrap her self like a a mummy and I eat the same dirtbread everyday id hate Americans too. If I lived in one of those Arab camal republics id hate the Israeli's too. Its pretty embarising what Isreal has created in a tiny strip of beach that is thriving, and these Arab countries cant get running water to their population. Hate is envy, and jealousy, and self-loathing. That pretty much describes American Detractors like yourself

<<Hate comes from being stepped on, and worked over. IMHO, everyone admires/envys a big fish.

Well said, rrman. An extreme case is Dalai Lama. Even after his people have bee stepped on and chased out of Tibet by the cruel chinese commies, he shows no hatred. MLK and Gandhi are two other great men who could bring people together than fuel hatred between them.
