It's simpler than this. Most elites in other nations achieved and currently hold their positions of power and influence at the expense of the majority of their people. The American system of government and its popularity among their enslaved populations is a dire threat to their continued existence on the planet...so they miss no opportunity to denigrate America, catechize their people to repeat anti-American slogans and blame America for the the evils they themselves are perpetrating. Whether European socialist aristocracies like France or the brutal dicatorships of the Middle East, their motivations are identical - only their methods differ slightly from country to country.

We create ... what ??? 80% of the World Domestic Product (WDP), use 70% of the world resources and produce 30% of the world pollution.

What's not to hate. We be good!

The United States is sort of like the high school jock who could kick everybody's ass and got all the girls. While everybody waves to him in the hallways and makes a public show of being friendly to him, behind his back, they hate him and conspire to "knock him down a peg or two."

We're hated because the success of our system of government and culture makes the varying lack of success of the other systems glaringly obvious. They hate our seccess in inverse proportion to their own lack of it. They'd rather hate than switch.

When you think back to your grandparents, to your elders of whatever generation … did they not have the same values?

What one generation tolerates the next will embrace.Politicle correctness and a lack of intestinal fortitutde will be the downfall of us all.

Stay Vigil

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! They hate us for one reason, the same reason they hate Israel. We are intricately tied to God's eternal plan to bring His Kingdom to earth. I don't care one whit if anybody doesn't believe this. Within a few years they will be eating their words. It will be as obvious as the sun coming up each day.

I have and still believe that any hatred of America comes mainly from our support of Israel. This is my own opinion; you're not required to agree.

Bingo! have to agree. The world is basically antinomial. Most countries hate the people of the Book.

"What's not to hate?" I married a Cuban out of Castro's Cuba after the revolution. I'm a born-in-America American and while I love America with all my being, he showed me things Americans take for granted. He always says "Only in America can you go into a supermarket and see a great big aisle filled with every variety of dog food, cat food, dog toys, cat toys, kitty litter, dog bones, etc.". Driving on the New York State Thruway through a mountainous area he says "I love America - they see a mountain and construct a great road right through it". When he sees Barney and Spot, President Bush's dogs, getting so much attention on TV, he says "Only in America will two dogs get so much attention - and this is what makes America a great country." And when he watched the Iraqi war on TV he said "I'm so proud to be an American."

I spent my childhood in Taiwan where there were no stray dogs. It looks so easy, to have access to every material possession. The hard part is not to lose your soul...and America hasn't been doing so well in that department. Hollywood is the America that the word sees...not Frank Kapra, but Roman Polanski. If America were really what she is portrayed as being, I would hate her too.

Instead, I see the America where my neighborhood mosque is unmolested, where my fellow citizens have banded together to minister to the weakest members of our society and where, for three hours a day, I can listen to Rush while my sister listens to NPR and then we vote to decide...and sit down to Thanksgiving dinner together.

I have heard the stories of how prisoners in the Gulag rejoiceed to hear Reagan call evil by it's real name...and the more that we Americans are intolerant of repressive regimes, and less willing to support the hypocrisy of the UN, I believe that free nations will love us, while tyrants will hate us...and that is the way it should be.

For the same reason if you were a gil you hated that pretty girl and if you were a guy you hated the star quarterback in high school.

We are it and they are losers.

I dont know if i like that analogy. Jocks are usually a-holes who make fun of people and push that nerd down. In Iraq, we picked that guy up and helped him to his feet.

At least in most "most popular jock" settings.
