I guess you really would need to throw out some examples of what you mean by "interfering". You do realize that we have troops stationed in over 100 different countries?

You are absolutely right we should remove all our military from those foreign lands. Just like we did in Europe right before 1920 and 1938.

Well, as a foreigner, I feel competent to answer the question why most nations hate the US.
It´s not only the media but I´ve to admit that in the Third World the censored propaganda has the greatest influence on the peoples minds. But even in the free West, the media is dominated by Leftists/Liberals. They have influence, but the most applying factor from my view is,
that the US have problems to present their policy.
Most nations on this planets had horrible wars which affected many people - the US never had such a great war on their territory. The people can´t imagine how terrible bombs can be - and when I hear some of you saying "let´s nuke ´em" I feel that I´m right.
Peoples want more dialogue, more peace. They believe that the US start wars even if it´s not really necessary. The US care about situations they shouldn´t care about, some say. Keep that in mind when asking why you´re hated.
No reasons are jealousy or envy, at least not in Europe. Although economies struggle, our living conditions are fine (to prove that look at the CIA worldbook).
Kind regards,
Michael

Your right. If I turned on the news and saw armed soldiers from some other country on American soil, I'd be highly upset. This is just another thing we can thank the U.N. for. Their so-called peace keeping missions.
There will be no peace in these countries as long as the leaders are greedy and love their own well being more than their fellow countrymen.

Tally, Are you insinuating that having U.S. Troops in a country = meddling in their business?.
Many of those U.S. troops are stationed abroad by invitation of their hosts. Kuwait, Korea, Kosovo, Bahrain, Afghanistan...all of these countries are arguably happy we came and happy we are staying. That is just a short list of happy sponsors.
Of course not everyone in the world likes us. Who cares. Democracy has this tendency to rub dictators, strong men, and communists the wrong way. Just as we see many in this country hate capitalism. Too Freeping bad. I think you can be a little more realistic as to why some idealogically impaired groups fight our presence.
