I'd say no. For the first 100 yrs, we weren't on everyone's radars as much, and for the second 100 yrs we were hated by our identifiable enemies (USSR, Fascist Germany and Japan, etc.) Certainly we never received a negative reaction in France or the UK.

Having just returned from 14 months of an extended tour of duty in Iraq, USMC, and having witnessed and experienced the undermining of our entire mission by the Far Left Wing Liberal Democrats back home...I am just disgusted with the Lefties!
I am thoroughly ashamed and angry. I saw Bill Clinton attack Mr. Wallace on FOX News and I was disgusted. Clinton was and is a coward. He did not serve and scurried off to Oxford to avoid military service and now travels the world speaking against the USA and has no idea the damage and hate he is engendering.
We sincerely feel, believe it or not... that the Democrats are our nations worst enemy not the barbaric Muslims that we had to face day in and day out. Yes I said the Democrats and their lust for power.
They never served but condemn those of us that do by their treasonous actions and words. "A hard rain's gonna fall" Mr. Clinton all over you sir...hope you got a big umbrella. You are without honor.

Dunno. In '78 or '79, the Iranians stormed the US Embassy and held the diplomatic staff captive til President Carter was voted out. While Reagan was President we bombed Libya, fought Cuban troops in Grenada, had 250-some-odd Marines blown up by a car bomber in Lebanon... I think some get frustrated at the success of others, or a lack of acknowledgement from others, and finally snap. This is what we have, today.
Speaking as a human, not as an American, if we all sat down, together, and truly listened to what we all had to say, we could hear what our neighbors need, and meet that, since what we all really want is to be dignified and acknowledged by our neighbors.

this might have something to do with the fact that we are watching this all happen on TV. In the past we have gone through so many wars that have been far worse than what we are going through with Iraq/Iran. Now we have reporters embedded right in the fighting. We never had that before. We also never had video sent to us, like the way Osama does.Technololgy has increased our awareness of the other side of the world. I believe we are just waking up to fully understand the rest of the world. Lets pray we do it in time!

easy. glad you're asking this question.
since the 1940's all the socialist/communist countries have disliked the USA (ussr, china, north vietnam, north korea, cuba, half of europe).
during 1980s, most of european press/media played us as the "devil" for confronting the soviets.
nothing has changed, except a few countries on the list.
life is too short to worry about what other people think all the time!

I believe that Thomas Jefferson sent Marines to Tripoli Due to Ambushing Pirates who felt that the US Was exploiting the wealth of their regions of the known World.
