Quite a lot of this "hatred" is jealousy, plain and simple.

Yes, Pop culture is the pits, but it is mostly envy of US teens and their freedom, lifestyle, way of life, abundance,education, families, vehicles and cash availability that piss these folks off.

Same as their elders it seems to me.

I've had a lot of experience with exchange students that come to this country, and most of them have heard the crap that the leftists in their country are always spouting. Hosting exchange students is a good way for conservative families to show other cultures that their socialists are full of crap. All three of the boys who lived in my house when Janet Reno came for Elian were shocked, telling me that they didn't think this could happen in America. I told them I didn't think it could happen either. We had two girls from Eastern Europe, both born under communism, two years ago. We all wept with joy when President Bush was inaugurated. After GWB said, "God bless America," the girl from Albania said, "Everyone around the world knows that this is a land that God has indeed blessed."

Let the liberals who usually do the hosting be the only ones, and the hate America first crowd overseas will just grow.
