Things are not so simple August. As others have said there are some who will hate the US no matter what. Others it depends on the issue. look at our wordy philosophe friend Skybird, very critical on some issues of the USA, but also of Europe and his native Germany (sorry Sky you are just a good example). On issues like the Islamic terror and well Islam in general, the use(lessness) of the UN, he and several non-Americans are in general agreement with conservative American opinion. It really comes down to who shouts the loudest.
