hope this doesn't come off as too much but, I don't give a DAMN! why they hate us. We are the ones they go to for help $. We are the country THEY are looking to come to. So to kerry and his comrades I say, screw EM!
I think that people and governments around the world blame America because it's easier than explaining their own failings.
Bottom line, the world hates the US because it believes the propaganda of the American Left.
"We were born with a declaration of independence which asserted that we all were created equal and a constitution that enshrined slavery. We fought a bloody civil war to abolish slavery but we remained unequal by law for another century. We advanced across the continent in the name of freedom, yet in so doing we pushed Native Americans off their land.
We welcome immigrants, but each new wave has felt the sting of discrimination."
And with every step we have moved forward with greater freedom, and always faster than any other nation on this earth.
Work hard, pay your dues, and Learn To Be An American, not a hyphenated POS, and you will quickly gain more than any other nation can offer you.

Pakistan will soon be reduced to being a province of Greater India.
For another analysis, here's an article I wrote:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1243882/posts
the US is hated because there has to be a balance of negative and positive in the world. Once the Soviet Union fell apart, a void was created that had to be filled by disparate groups and smaller entities. The Soviet Union hated us on grand ideological grounds...now we're hated for all kinds of reasons...every good thing in this world must be opposed by an evil. In some cases, as China, it is the government that opposes the good people...in others, like the Middle East, the contempt of the rulers for their people force them to deflect hatred from themselves to us and those like us...in any case, this world is built on a balance of good and bad...from the nucleus to the whole universe
But yet it is the most hated nation in the world.
Yet we still let third-worlders immigrate legally with preference over first world and former second world immigrants, and millions of third world illegals can come right over the southern border as potential future Democratic voters.
He should have said that the U.S. is in a dreamland.
It’s obvious the author is extremely deluded by years of anti-American indoctrination and in this article is simply preaching to the choir. Unfortunately, the article is a classic example of the type of anti-American tripe that poisons the minds of billions throughout the world.
Ping for later study
I think we should prove him right! Because we could, but what he misses to understand is that we don't.
We have the ability to be a monster. We could literally wipe him and his kind off the earth as brutal and close-minded as that sounds. However, our own people, of whom we have over 5,000,000 Moslems, would NEVER allow this.
You can preach this crap in the US, but you go to an Arab or most Moslem nations and talk about religion, or politics. They know us well enough to know about our liberties, but overlook their own hypocrisy. They are a society 600 years behind the times culturally.
The author of this article is right in one respect though. The problem with the whole Moslem world is that they TOLERATE terrorism and sympathize with the world view of these terrorists.
Tomorrow it could all be over, if they (The Moslem world) chose to do the right thing and not support this evil way of thinking. Instead they try to shift blame and overlook minor details like "Who the majority of terrorists have been since the 70s." Moslem men maybe? Maybe he thinks we are all so stupid and cannot understand what is broadcast from the Mosque over loudspeaker? You will not find a leader in the US condoning violence the way they do mainstream in many parts of their world (The religion of peace). When these idiots wake up and figure out what is wrong with themselves the problems will cease to exist (positive solution). Until then we must kill many of them who pose a danger or are threats (negative solution). This killing is not racially or religiously motivated as it is for them! That is a key difference too. No, it's a direct response to their actions. What do these freaks expect? That we get bombed and say, "Oh yea, sorry about that, I know we're so bad because of who we are and we are at fault for your terrorism that you like to export." Ask this weirdo if he knows the definition of terrorism. If he understands that we target military or terrorist threats while his brothers (with whom he obviously sympathizes) target civilians. But of course a dimwit such as this will lead you down the slippery slope and will try to show that we too are terrorists and target civilians. Because these guys know they are such scum (And I think deep down inside they know it) they try to rationalize their pathetic world and actions. That’s why they hype up any collateral damage and fiercely try to place us on their level. If they don’t like to be considered “savages” then maybe they should stop acting as such.

"It is a strange irony of fact that the government of a people who are the most generous people of the world, giving annually more than $100 billions in charity, happens to be the most egregious violator of basic human values."
Pure BS
"Bottom line, the world hates the US because it believes the propaganda of the American Left."
Yes and not just the American left, but the entire left around the world. People believe evil things about the US because they believe it is true. Their worldview says so. What they believe to be true is shaped by what they hear and read and see. What they hear and read and see is hardly ever the full picture. They see the slice that their masters want them to see.
The less freedom a people have, the more likely it is they will hate the US.

Scary. The writer just assumes that his Pakistani readers are familiar with Noam Chomsky. "According to Chomsky..." he writes, seeing no need to introduce Chomsky further. If Asians have the offhand familiarity with Chomsky that the writer assumes, then it's no wonder anti-Americanism is prevalent in Asia.
Just imagine how much better off the world would be if international writers could just say "According to Horowitz..." or "According to Sowell..." or Hayek or Hanson, and have their readers nodding in immediate recognition.
Let's get the US out of the third world and the third world out of the US. close the borders already. we've had 40 yrs of immigration. time to digest.
Our way of life is a threat to them, we either give it up, or we fight back. I can't help but notice that there have been no further attacks on our soil since we decided to stand and die in Iraq. We can now be defeated only by our enemy within.
All you have to do is read these three words and know exactly what the rest of the column said...
It exactly followed the principle of Thomas Jefferson that in matters of religion "the maxim of civil government" should be reversed and we should rather say, "Divided we stand, united, we fall" meaning the separation of Church and State. Yet it rarely hesitates to demonise other religion, letting the rivals to riposte with religious weapon.
Re: the so called separation of chuch and state, our Constitution merely says that we will not establish a state religion, nor interfere with the free practice of any religion. No Muslim nation can claim that feat, and that is their downfall. As for demonizing religion, I think that most religions, if not all, coexist pretty well in America. Can most Muslim nations, i.e. Pakistan, claim even the smallest degree of tolerance for any other religion? No, they can't. Christian churches are grenaded and burned, and their followers are treated like second class citizens at best, lepers at worst. Don't point the "demonizing religion" finger at us, boys.
It has lumped together values like respect for private property, the rule of law, individual rights, minimum government, free markets and civil liberty, yet racism lingers as rancid stench in its social structure. How America is tarnished by a mishmash of such benumbing contradictions may be revealed from a speech of Former President Bill Clinton.
I wonder if their is a single culture or race that does not practise some degree of racism or, in the case of Pakistan and many other Muslim nations, religionism to a degree that would make us look like angels. For a nice example, look at the Sudan.
While delivering his speech at University of California in 1997, he pointed to this beguiling nature of American society. "We were born with a declaration of independence which asserted that we all were created equal and a constitution that enshrined slavery. We fought a bloody civil war to abolish slavery but we remained unequal by law for another century. We advanced across the continent in the name of freedom, yet in so doing we pushed Native Americans off their land.
Ye Gods! See the Sudan, the Jews, any nation where Islam becomes the religion of the government. They don't simply "push them off their land," they exterminate non Muslims!
Whether it is the life-long support of Israel or sporadic embracing of Afghan Mujahideen in 1980s, the motive remains the same. According to Chomsky, what America really wants is to steal from the poor and give to the rich. America's crusade against Communism was actually a crusade "to protect our doctrine that the rich should plunder the poor." (What Uncle Sam really wants). Thus, being flustered with such snobbish self-interest for long time, the US sometimes crosses all limits of humanity.
Well, now we get to the meat of the matter, and realize why Cuba, Vietnam and Chile were mentioned: because noted American communist Noam Chomsky objects to our fight against communism. If we were so inhumane and interested in "plundering the poor (Muslims)," why is Saudi Arabia still in existance? Kuwait? Iran? Have we flattened Iraq? Why did we go into Afghanistan? For the poppies?
In a September 2001 issue of "the Progressive Magazine", the author, Thomas J. Negy, exposes an eye-splitting account of a secret document," Iraq Water Treatment Vulnerabilities" prepared by the US Defence Intelligence Agency in January 1991. It stipulates how sanctions will prevent Iraq from supplying clean water to its citizens.
The document states," Failing to secure supplies (because of sanctions) will result in a shortage of pure drinking water for much of the population. This could lead to increased incidences of disease….
Would this be the UN sponsored sanctions? Hmmmm......
Iraqi rivers are contain biological materials (WMDs???), pollutants, and are laden with bacteria. Unless the water is purified with chlorine, (the import of which is embargoed by sanctions) epidemics of such disease as cholera, hepatitis, and typhoid could occur." What a strategy to topple its former minion, Saddam Hussein, by killing innocent people with epidemics? Even Mongols in the 13th century would have shivered with a twinge of remorse if they had seen such a brutal strategy.
Then why didn't the peaceful Muslim nations surrounding Iraq persuade Saddam to reveal his lack of WMDs and his peaceful intentions? Why did they all ignore the plight of the Iraqi people?
But even a paltry twinge of compunction this humane and civilised government never showed. Still we wonder as to why people hate America. It is a strange irony of fact that the government of a people who are the most generous people of the world, giving annually more than $100 billions in charity, happens to be the most egregious violator of basic human values.
Worse than say, Pakistan? Exactly which basic human values are we violating? Are we being compared with the genocide and slavery that STILL exists in Muslim countries? Do we value our women less than our cattle as happens in Muslim countries?
This intriguing dichotomy isn't foolproof enough to prevent people from hating America.
Nor is this Chomsky inspired, pro-infidel hating screed fooling anyone, except perhaps the few street Muslims that can actually read.
