You are guessing, and I would instinctively agree with you. Well, it's not my guess exactly, but the conclusion I draw from reading Ajami, Patai, Friedman, Lewis, etc. However, the poll that I have posted says otherwise. It displays that the Arab people's problem with the US stems for the large part from US policies in the region, as they perceive them. Nobody likes to admit to feelings of inadequacy, and that goes double in a pride/shame culture. So the pollsters didn't ask and the poll answerers didn't answer. The Egyptian playright Ali Salem describes Egyptian feelings toward America as a "pathological love", "I hate you and I cannot live without you".
