1) Because they are a war-like people with xenophobic leaders who trade in the politics of paranoia;
2) Because of decades of destructive, interventionist activities by the US CIA in South American and African lands;
3) Because of the hypocrisy of claiming to be a republic at the same time as they pursue an aggressive imperialist policy across the glove;
4) Because of their selfish dishonesty in dealing with other states in diplomatic and economic matters;
5) Because of their pretentiousness, unwarranted haughtiness, contemptuous disregard for others, and innate immaturity;
6) Because they are, at present, an intolerant, crypto-fascist sate masquerading (ineffectually) as a democracy.

Poor foreign policy is to blame: America has been consistantly going into smaller countries and controlling their actions for decades. Whether with economics, threat or military might, it is usually for the good of the States, not the country in question. It's been going on for so long that even when the US tries to do good in the world, they're still seen as bullies today. This is due to stereotyping and media reinforcing of the "mean, greedy American". Although this stereotype isn't at all deserved imo (though I might say "satisfied, ignorant American who doesn't realize what their government does to other countries"), it seems to be popular.

It's like, how Americans have this strange belief that French == Coward. They've held it for years (since WWII?), despite all evidence to the contrary. It still shows up in media all the time, from cartoons to CNN, and millions of people believe it.

So I guess the French are cowards, and Americans are arseholes, until such time as people (or the media that educates them) start thinking for themselves instead of just propagating old stereotypes.

Because the American government has tried its hardest to police the globe, and that includes meddling in everyone else's affairs. And we have tried to force Americanized captitalism on the rest of the world.
