Why Do People Around The World Hate And Despise America?

Question

The Mother of all Terrorists
To Be Taken Quite Literally!
For those of you who want "FACTS" and "FIGURES" and have the intellect to judge 'GOOD' from 'EVIL' and the courage to know and say out the TRUTH....for the rest you should stop here!

Ever since the United States Army massacred 300 Lakotas in 1890, American forces have intervened elsewhere around the globe 100 times. Indeed the United States has sent troops abroad or militarily struck other countries' territory 216 times since independence from Britain. Since 1945 the United States has intervened in more than 20 countries throughout the world.

Since World War II, the United States actually dropped BOMBS ON 23 COUNTRIES. These include: China 1945-46, Korea 1950-53, China 1950-53, Guatemala 1954, Indonesia 1958, Cuba 1959-60, Guatemala 1960, Congo 1964, Peru 1965, Laos 1964-73, Vietnam 1961-73, Cambodia 1969-70, Guatemala 1967-69, Grenada 1983, Lebanon 1984, Libya 1986, El Salvador 1980s, Nicaragua 1980s, Panama 1989,

Iraq 1991-1999, Sudan 1998, Afghanistan 1998, and Yugoslavia 1999.

Post World War II, the United States has also assisted in over 20 different coups throughout the world, and the CIA was responsible for half a dozen assassinations of political heads of state.

Answer 1

We are the most wealthy, rude, self centered and in your face nation on the planet at this point in time.

We are also the most aggressive.

We take our liberties and freedoms for granted, and mock the positions of any other culture (or opinions) that do not agree with our own.

Our populace is spoiled, lazy, and rude - and the overall educational level is not based on personal experience or multi-cultural viewpoints, but a carefully designed Freudian premise that insures we remain arrogant, materialistic, and barbaric.

I would also note that while I am Proud to be an American (I'm a military kid who has traveled to several countries as well as the majority of the US) - I am not proud of what America is fast becoming.

We value quick fixes and instant gratification - our concept of "hard work" is radically ill-defined as opposed to the realities of of the lives of other people across the globe.

We do not teach our children how to become global citizens, instead, we train them to be obiedient consumers with limited attention spans and hostile opinions towards anything that might snap them our of their deluded and brainwashed state of mind.

As an economic superpower power ready to push our materialistic culture on the rest of the world in the name of "progess" and "modern culture" - we are doing more to destory and homogenize the rest of the world to our "standards" while systematically enslaving the "lower cultures" so our children can satisfy their consumption habits.

Our leaders can talk about "values" all they want, but until we start living them ourselves, there will be no change.

Answer 2

I am Spanish and I don't hate America.

What I hate is the current foreign policy of the federal government.

I hate the lack of worldy knowledge by a lot of Americans.

I hate this un-healthy fascination with their own so-called "freedom". I have more freedom in Spain (indeed in most other Western countries I have been too) than I think ANY American does in America. Free Speech? Doesn't exist there. Un-biased reporting? Nope. Religious tolerance? Forget it.

I hate the assumption that "America is best" and eating apple-pie and "Heh let's go to McDonald's Mary-Lou" attitude.

I have met a lot of lovely Americans and they have some wonderful scenery.

But I couldn't live there for more than a year. I would crack up.

Answer 3

This is too long a read! But can i say that America is like any other country? Some of the things they have done were not right if they've done some good as well? And maybe you should concentrate on teh good instead of showing such in depth knowledge of what you feel is bad.

And you nkow I'm British and no doubt you could say plenty about Britain but you know ... It wouldn't bother me because i know what Britain stands for and i'm proud to be british, same as my American friends are proud to be American!

Answer 4

Because as a culture, we're extremely detatched from the rest of the world. We live in a sort of bubble of healthcare, money, and shelter that most of the world doesn't have. And then, in our detatched state, we think we can police other countries to do what we think is best, because we believe they share our mentality. In reality, many do not.

Look at the middle east. Here in the U.S., Bush said he was going to spread Democracy. That's all fine and dandy, except that that part of the world has lived in a state of Religious theocracy for thousands of years. They wouldn't know how to just establish a democratic state, and wouldn't want to either.

They've been raised from birth to believe that their system is best (the way we've been raised to believe ours is the best), and don't want foreigners coming in to tell them what they should and should not do. If you've never lived in a Democracy, and are convinced that your system's great the way it is, would you want someone coming in, blowing up your house, and telling you that you're wrong?

We tend to believe that everyone else thinks the way we do, and act accordingly.

Oh, and whoever said "because we have freedom and they're jealous," is BEYOND IGNORANT and should try to move past Kindergarten-level social studies. The government tells you you're free.


And willowdreams is a friggin moron. World War 2 was a completely different scenario. Germany was allied with Japan- who ran an attack on U.S. soil. It was a system of alliances that ran that whole war. Secondly, calling the Native Americans "terrorists" is idiotic at best. Are you referring to the fact that they employed guerilla tactics to fight, because they were equipped for forest hunting and had few firearms?

Remember, moron, the literal definition of "terrorist" means, "somebody who employs widespread fear to achieve goals." It doesn't mean "somebody with brown skin."

Answer 5

Interventionism and war are evils that have eroded the fabric of this once great republic. What is truly amazing is that people don't take cluster bombings, military occupation by folks who will kill you if you look at them funny, and the death of loved ones whether intentional or "collateral damage" -- as sufficient reasons for those "over there" to totally lose it and "hate america". Instead, they blame their religion, and ignore the human factor.

As for America's allies and friends, their citizens are increasingly distancing themselves as they really don't want to be dragged down into an unending and unwinnable war, justifying the continued use of force to deal with the consequences of using force in the past. Watch the dollar go down in value (and prices go up) as more notes are printed to pay the continued cost of this war.

Answer 6

I don't hate America as a nation, but I don't agree with American policy , It's so provoking considering double standards, and being a bully , thinking that they own the world.
for the American people who think that they have freedom, wake up please , your phones are tapped, your e-mails are being spyed on, and a bunch of ( you know who ) are controlling your lives, your sons are dying in Iraq for no reason , and you can't do anything about that, can you ?

Answer 7

Because the powerful Dictators and Religious rulers need a "Bad guy" for the masses of people to concentrate on while they keep total power over them and make billions.

The "US" is that bad guy.

I could cite just as many times when Muslims and other groups have done the same, but one bad work does not justify another.

I accept that America is not always perfect, can you do the same about your Faith?

Peace!
May God Bless you!

Answer 8

I only counted 19 countries. And you repeated a few of them at least twice, which drops the number down even more.

If you think the USA is such a horrible country, you're perfectly free to leave. Nobody's stopping you.

You won't have to do what my parents did to come here -- escape from a prison island known as Cuba and risk your life to go to a better place. You can just buy yourself a plane ticket and leave.

In fact, you'd be doing America a favor. You'd be creating one more vacancy for a person from another country who'd love to come here and take your place.

Answer 9

Terrorism is the targetting of innocent civilians in order to promote or publicize a political or social goal, or just plain mass-murder. In WAR, success is measured by the ability of your army to survive and complete it short term objectives against the opposing army. In TERRORISM however, success is measured by hiding (out of uniform) to survive and the body count of civilians. It is a sort of organized mass-murder.

Had the United States been a terrorist nation, we would fund and support terrorist groups and we would unleash all the fury of our nuclear arsenal on any country that looks at us the wrong way!

The United States is a soveriegn nation and has the right to defend itself. We have faced a number of enemies in our past; Imperialism, Nazism, Communism, and now Terrorism. Any enlightened western thinker can see they were\are all evil. I would argue we have only gone to war to ensure the survival of the nation and to rid the world of people that make this a truly evil place.
