Why Majority of People in the world Hate USA more than Europe?

Question

You will find people around the world burning USA flags when it comes to international issues.

Such as: GLOBAL WARMING KYOTO Treaty, World Peace Human Genocites, USA's Double standards for West and Rest etc. etc.

Answer 1

It ain't a popularity contest.

Answer 2

don't think the majority hate usa...but those that do seem to dislike the fundamentalist approach to "internal" security which appears to involve invading as many countries as possible to impose american governmental ideals. for such an inward looking country, it certainly does like to impose itself all across the globe. i don't hate usa...i just disagree with its' policies regarding the rest of the planet.america does not have the right to be the worlds police no matter how much they might like to think that is the case. it is largely due to a history of disastrous foreign policies set by ever increasingly inept presidents,the current incumbent being no exception, that so many people have an intense dislike,distrust and sadly a hatred of america. is it too much to ask that the american government wake up to its failures and try to learn from their countless mistakes?

Answer 3

you have answered your own question with issues such as Kyoto, the war on terror, Guantanamo bay, Strategic defence initiative (space defence and the ability to remove other nations satellites from space), while Europe has shown a keen desire to avoid war (bar Britain but were just tryin to prove that were still hard) Most of the buildings, bridges and power stations that Israel is currently blowing up in palestinian and Lebanese land were built by the EU with EU cash, whilst the weapons being used to destroy them are american. that is possibly a few reasons why the US is unpopular?

Answer 4

Because USA reached it's peak now only place to go is down, my prediction is in about fifty years or there about China and India will over take, then US will start burning Chinese and others flags.

Answer 5

Because the USA gets blamed for all the horrid mistakes of our government. And, since we are a strong, influential country, we are expected to fix all the worlds problems too.

I hate the fact that a lot of other countries hate America, in general, when I am just a person like them, who wants to see all the stuff you listed corrected too.

Answer 6

USA is intervening in most of the affairs of other states unlike Europe. USA invades countries like Iraq for nukes but nothing was found. USA controls the economies of other countries unlike Europe which is passive.

Answer 7

Because the Americans and their government think they are a super power. Whatever the political spin they use for their actions, the bottom line is $$$$. ps I hate terriost and their devasting effects. However why do arrogant Americans think they have the answers to this world wide poblem, when it is evident to the rest of the world they haven't, and that their actions are causing more problems. pss Who in their right mind would vote that idiot bush in. ppps go Oprah go girl

Answer 8

they burn your flag as it's usually cold when they are demonstrating and they want to keep warm and haven't got a nice England flag to burn. We usually get it straight after the good ol' USA, so don't feel too bad about it.. maybe it's also that they are cheaper to make than a lot of other flags...

Answer 9

Because Europeans, particularly in Britain, have been brainwashed against America by the left wing/liberal TV media and educationalists, over a number of years. They can't bear to admit that their left wing dogma has failed yet again.

Answer 10

Because Europe is a group of many different countries, with many different political parties, with many different beliefs.

America is: 1 country, 1 economy, 1 ruling party, 1 priority (America), yet it wants to run/police/ be the decision makers for the whole world. It belittles the U.N (united countries from around the world), invades countries for fictitious reasons, what more do you want?

The reason the U.S is singled out is because it singles itself out & makes decisions that affect the rest of the world, with no regard for the rest of the world, for it's own benefit.

Now where's my lighter.

Answer 11

Believe the idiot making the decisions in the White House has a lot to do with it. Fictitious wars to fill his families and friends bank accounts, nice.
