Simple propaganda is my opinion along with jealousy.  WE are a generous nation and the world is so very Lucky that the USA has been the Superpower for so many years.  Sometimes I think the world wants us to stop evil but not to many other nations want to help so we look like were are med ling.  If we don't help, we're "ignoring the pain and suffering of others".  It's a catch 22 really.  I simply wish other countries would not just "back us" (a lot of our allies) but actually, physically HELP out!!

The US is nothing like the USSR of yesterday.  The fact that you can openly complain about our government shows the difference.  Sure we have our problems here but, Americans really have it good.

Maybe they're jealous of the influence we have around the world, and by things that we have done lately like the Iraq War which i believe is a reason why the majority of countries or at the European countries don't like us much. \nThe countries had great respect for us pre 9/11 i mean look at the Vigils they had for the victims, it's just the reckless war in Iraq that set many countries off.

The entire world has a distaste for America, after all, we are always the source of their economic problems... and we like to get involved in everything and make it worse O.o

it is because of the following.\n\n1. AMERICA thinks that they own the world\n2. They have the money and they ABUSE it\n3. They are miserable and AFRAID\n\nWell before you judge me of my answers let me explain\nTo let you know I live in Asia, the Philippines.\nAmerica thinks they own the world... -> This is true, you can se this on TV, hear it on radios.. America doing business all over the world. I mean it is not bad but because they are in the pinnacle of power they abuse it. they think they know each country, each culture. they think they are superior because they are first world, they're democratic and they are rich. But it is not all about the money or the power. Each country has its culture and its people. I can tell you that democracy is not always the best option of government. \n\nAmerica is also afraid that over the course of time, these regimes or budding power will destroy them. So what do they do?, they take actions while a growing country is still young and take them on their necks.\n\nSAD to say but its true. How you can prove it?, take away the comforts that you are in now, visit a third world country (like the Philippines, Cuba, Africa), live it, feel the culture the people and know firsthand how AMERICA destroys.

The US has a bad foreign policy at least in the middle east Sorry to all US citizens but that's the truth the rest of the world has judged it and they are in the majority. \n\nThe US haven't always had such a bad one a string of presidents during the cold war got it right. Why now because of 9/11 the US feels the most threatened country on Earth the American public needed to see Bush doing something so he attacked Afghanistan. Iraq is a mistake the true reason for the invasion is still unclear. The US however in their heightened sense of paranoia tend to see threats everywhere from anyone. \n\nThey aren't the only country being attacked in Iraq and tehy aren't the only country to have suffered devastating terrorist attacks so don't forget it. \nBritain suffers to for following the US into Iraq and Afghanistan. Israel suffers daily suicide bomber's. Countries in Africa suffer famine, tribal conflict, genocide and all the US can do sat high on its pedestal is announce plans to stop attacks on the US. \nGlobal peace is something we all strive for but it won't happen whilst tribal conflict, the need for revenge, different religions and differing ideas exist. It also won't happen whilst one nation thinks it has the right to do anything and everyhting in another persons country. \n\nThe US should open its eyes and realise whilst its economy affects the world globally it is becoming overshadowed by other countries and its continued military actions and the threat of military actions are infuriating the world. Americans still wonder why they are attacked by suicide bombers and roadside bombs in Iraq. Cover ups and covert operations are mounted to get rid of the people they dislike. The evidence is all around you America until you see it you will continue to be attacked until the world slaps you in the face and tells you in overwhelming numbers to get lost and look after your own country. \n\nStop thinking the US is the greatest nation on earth it isn't. It interferes too much with other countries which should be left to the U.N that's what its there for.\n\nLike I said the Americans have got it right in the past they should do so again. America has done good in the world and by listening to the worlds problems and sorting them out through organisations desgined for that purpose they can do even more. America will continue to lose power and respect on a global scale if its current foreign policy continues.

Most of them don't hate America; they only loath the US foreign policy, which they believe is bullish and unfair.  So, don't generalize. Of course, there are still some who hate America no matter what but they are the exception (just like there are Americans who hate other countries or even the rest of the world, no matter what).

No, the US is totally hypocritical to think that the US has a right to certain technology but countries like Iran which are disliked by the US government don't have the same right.  The US is not the world's policeman, and that is why so many people round the world hate the US.

Your right the ones who suffered most in the conflict was the third world.  South America and Africa were riddled with ineffective puppet governments put there by the US to keep the "radical" communists out.  However they tend not to teach that in High School history classes so you will find most Americans are oblivious to the effect that the Cold War had on the third world.  Good Luck trying to teach them.\n\nTo:adonrummd\n\nI don't just blame the US I also blame the a**hole "leaders" who would sell out their people for money.  If it was the USSR encouraging ineffective governments then yes I would blame them, but it wasn't.  With great power comes great responsibility.  If you mess up, you have to take responsibility.  America was looking out for its own best interest, I would agree with that.  To think that in doing that they did not have a big part in the underdevelopment of the third world, is naive.

No, the rest of the world hates America.

US is the only country with military presence in most part of the world. And, US has been the cause of most of the problems in the world.\n\nLook at Afghanisthan - developing the Taliban to topple Soviets, look at Iran - supporting Islamists (Iran Contra affair, other deals) to topple the Shah; funding Saudi Arabia so that they can spread their wahhabbi madrassas, and train millions of jihadists; American companies and CIA causing such destruction in South America, including toppling elected government, that the whole region is now electing communist/ socialist presidents.\n\nIn our kindergarten, we were taught - You spill the milk, you mop the floor.\n\nSo, US has to mop the floor, all over the world, whether it likes to or not. Else, all this will get even worse.

They are elitist.  History, as the Chinese also like to argue, is on the side of their excellent example of civilization.  The US has only been around such a short time.  We are uncultured, uncouth, and uncooperative with their sense of diplomacy, etc.  The US may have saved France in two wars, but  in our very early years (as in our Revolution) it was France that saved us.  The biggest chunk of our land was sold to us by the French.  There is probably more than a little jealousy, but they key word is arrogance.  Then too, we tend to crow a little excessively from time to time, which invites disdain, especially from those too discrete and yet privately proud to do the same.

It's interesting, because I don't know that there are "countries" that hate us.  There may be a country's leader that "hates" america (Hugo Chavez of Venezuela certainly didn't like American capitalism, but I wouldn't say Venezuelans hate America) -- such as Fidel Castro of Cuba, probably the leaders of the Palestinian Authority, Qadafi of Libya (up until recently), some hardline Chinese communist leaders; and there may be some countries in which a majority of the people don't have a favorable image of America (I'd include North Korea, Iran, and, to a lesser extent, France), but I don't think there are countries that "hate" us, perhaps the way it was during the cold war.\n\nMost enemies of the U.S. today would be categorized into two camps -- rogue groups of non-nation states (like al Qaeda) and economic "enemies" who simply want to displace America as the great economic superpower (like China, India, and, to a lesser extent, the E.U.)  Both must be considered.

I must preface what I have to say just a bit...I love America, and what I say here is not a reflection on ALL Americans, but how we have gotten the reputation that we have!           I have traveled extensively and it is true Americans are VERY disliked! It because of a few different reasons. One being entitlement. Most American think they are due the best and fastest service, that they are entitled to tell other people how to live and what to believe. We are a nation that is very spoiled and really has no grasp on other peoples lives. Americans...I hate to say are a complacent people also, which leads to mis-understanding from other cultural groups. Finally there is our President...I think from what you wrote above I need not expound on this issue. Yes Americans ARE very dis-liked, but this is not all together unfounded.

Americans, generally, hate the poor and are CHEAP!!\n\nThey rather blame them than to help them. If they can say it is by some character flaw then they can sleep well at night knowing a kid is starving to death!
