WWII was put together by those that used hatred, of Jews, to bind their people. We did not fight Germany because of hatred, we fought Germany to protect democracy, american sovereignty, and western political ideals.

The homegrown European resistance against the Nazis in the occupied territories was besides ideological (communists mostly but also loyal Royalist for example) in part also inspired by anti German feelings and not only because they invaded just because they're Germans. Still that's a stretch. I think the answer to your question is no but sometimes hatred stood on the right side. It's not absolute. You say you didn't attack Germany out of hatred and that's true but did no individual soldier use very personal hatred as an inspiration to fight the good fight?

Two that immediately come to mind include:
1. Japan bombing Pearl Harbor
2. The 9/11 attacks on America
But there are others, of course.
I didn't mention the Holocaust becasue I consider it to be racial hatred, not political hatred. But it is certainly hatred, all the same. And I agree with ChiGuy about the Civil War, Vietnam and Korea as well.

The Holocaust, which was a horrible event. The Civil War. The Vietnam Conflict. The Korean War. The execution of Julius Cesar. The assassination of Abe Lincoln. The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The beheading of Kings.

Well, just off the top of my head, wasn't the Allied war effort in WWII based on the 'hatred' of Nazism and Fascism of the axis powers?
Edit: That's just it, we fought WWII because we 'hated' (although I consider that term too emotional for rational politics), the ideas of Nazism and Fascism and loved the ideas of democracy and freedom instead.

The United States Constitution.
It tempered the power of religions against individuals.
No longer was the religious hatred of infidels allowed.

I think some people came to America because they didn't like the politics of England.
Oh yeah, there was that Civil War thing, too. The sides didn't agree much on that one.
Come to think of it, we pretty much hated the politics of Germany during the war.
I'm not real fond of terrorists, either.

In his way Stalin was another Hitler, and Stalin lasted longer in power, and died of old age, still in power. Stalin was in charge of Soviet Russia, a very powerful nation. Since that time there have been several dictators in charge of nations which have had wide influence, e.g.Ghaddafi in Libya (small nation by population, but big influence because of oil), Mao Tse Tung in China and Saddam Hussein in Iraq (oil, again, and look at the chaos in Iraq since he was deposed). Nobody can predict the future, but I would not be surprised to find a dictator in a similar position to Hitler at some time.
