Nearly all anti-Americanism is media driven and media fed. One on one, most people from other countries like Americans just fine - they are concerned about American politics and policies and proceed from a base of fear fueled by the media.

Envy has nothing to do with it. Non-US muslims frown on western decadence AND FEAR it may influence their young - so they brainwash their children with hate hoping it will blind them to any influence.

As for foreign elections, that is nationalism that is actually driving those votes, something apparently we can't show but all other nations should. To us it looks like they are anti-American and their media feeds off of the appearance.

Pepsi is saddled up to do 500 million dollars worth of business with India - if they can make a sweeter deal by playing a little nationalism with India in order to distance themselves from US politics, they will do it in a second.

"...if they can make a sweeter deal..."
