First of All some people will see they hate us because of our freedom, this is baloney! Let me describe what I think.

There are three aspects to America: its culture, its people and its policies.

As for the culture it is very popular through out the world. Their education, TV, media, Celebrities, food and clothes are liked by a lot of people. Even the Muslims in the Middle east! although they sometimes don't like the exploitation of women sexuality.

As for it people, then most people like them and some ar indifferent to them. Although, there is a notion that Americans know very little about countries, cultures and religions outside America. Which often leads them to wrongly conclude that they hate us because of our freedom.

As for policies, so throughout my travel the world mostly sees America as imperialist. Most people see the Iraq war as an unjust war. And they accept America to not be the best model of foreign policy and international relations.

No, not everybody hates the USA - but those who do often have the memory of a relative killed by Americans who gives them good reason to hate us - and they number in the hundred of millions around the world.

Do you have any dead relatives or good neighbors who were killed by foreign soldiers right in your own hometown? Do you have a dead uncle, aunt, daughter, brother, grandson, or any friends who were crushed outside their own homes by a tank brought over from a foreign country? Or know anybody who lived to tell about being tortured by Americans because their President, Attorney General, and Secretary of Defense said torture was legal and an effective means to get (usually worthless) information?
------------------
Your question comes from being very poorly informed about what America's role has been throughout the world for the last 100 years and how it has achieved what it has done. Don't be too worried, this is a very common situation, unfortunately.

If you live in the United States, I suggest that you be far more skeptical about the news you read that originates WITHIN the U.S. It is designed for Americans, by Americans, and promotes American interests in a very limited way.

After all is said and done overseas, American interests overseas frequently prefer dictatorships, and other types of governments that severely diminish or limit personal and economic freedoms - and that is much more fact than opinion.

Throughout history those who had not always hated those who had. Throughout history those who have got that way on the backs of those who have not.

Everyone hates everyone and that is a simple fact of life and will continue to be so until we no longer have a need to ask these types of questions. 100 Years from now it will probably be another country everyone hates.

Of course not.

You will find that we have now made it easy for more people to identify with osama bin laden as the popular brave image of future and hope, rather than the statue of liberty though.

Our liberty-icon used to mean something profound and good to people in lots of places 'round the world. People who had never even been to America.

I think hate is the wrong word and we have to be careful what we mean here. I dislike the US government for its hypocracy.

They say they support democracy yet have overturned democratic governments throughout South American and supported dictators there and elsewhere in the world. They say they are for freedom and yet restrict the freedoms of their own people and those of other countries.

I don't dislike American people regardless of how we perceive them through a forum such as YA. Every American I have met was just as normal as the next person. They weren't extreme and they weren't as right wing as YA would have you believe. Maybe the anonymity of the internet allows many to act a little more extreme then they are.

I think the correct word to use in place of hate is pity. We pity America for what it has become. Those who founded the country would be turning in their graves at what is happening today.

Nobody like the man in charge of the country for that matter.

Do you think the Romans ever paused to ask themselves whether they were popular or not?

Do you think the Chinese or the old USSR would be a kinder master then the USA?

Remember these good folks killed about 20 million of their own people. How do you think others would fare?

I doubt it, but the USA has lost a lot of popular support around the world due to its foreign policies -- especially those of the Bush administration.

Everyone who hates freedom, anyway.

The world is filled with freedom haters. The socialists want us all to be slaves so that the world will be peaceful. I think that's just the peace of the slave-owners, however.
