I think there is a Law of The Universe called "build 'em up and tear 'em down".

While we were a growing country, "the rest of the world" seemed to have a much better opinion of us, up until the Vietnam war.

The left and other America-haters hate the USA for the same reason as why people hate Microsoft. It is a huge power that everyone has to live with. It's easy to blame.

Being the biggest, it doesn't get much sympathy. It has to do everything absolutely right, and even then it will get criticism. It's like a giant being pestered by a thousand ants.

The giant has to step carefully but its feet are just too big, and sometimes one of the ants gets stepped on.

The rest of the ants cry bloody murder and put the giant on trial. The giant may have even saved millions of other ants, but it doesn't matter, he was careless and foolishly killed that one ant.

That would be Newton's Third Law of Pyrotechnics.

Don't be an ass. MicroSoft is a business. It's objectives are far different than a governments and thus, gets judged differently.
The US tolerates opinion and encourages freedom.
MicroSoft's behavior is anything but tolerant.
A very stupid analogy. One that ignores the basis of our political system and the principles of FREE Market economics.
