I don’t think every other country in the world hates you. And no, you are not that horrible. I certainly don’t hate you guys – you have never bothered me or my people, and you are also so far away 😉 It’s _individual people_ around the world that seem to hate _specifically_ the actions of the United States _government_ in or near their home countries/regions in the past decades. A person is usually angry for a specific reason, but these reasons are also pretty complex webs weaved out of regional history, geopolitics, global economy etc. I think many people outside U.S. likes the ordinary American folks, and really wants to be like them. Most are indifferent about you, others resent you for various reasons, some even hate you, but only rarely that hate turns into brutal violence, as in 9/11. Below are web addresses for a few interesting articles about the subject. It’s useless for me to repeat here what others have said better (I tried my best to select the most balanced ones). You can find more articles – some fairly ‘edgy’ – with search engines. I hope you find at least some kind of answers to your questions.
