Amos: I totally agree that "The proposition, as artbrooks mentioned, is flawed in the asking. Individuals hate; groups like nations do not. When media, or noise and brouhaha create enough Fear Uncertainty and Doubt to make it appear that a whole group shares a hatred it is time to start talking to individuals; they are the only ones who can properly own an emotion or an attitude, and generally you will find most of them much more rational than any cloud of black-PR smoke will ever seem to be."

It is difficul to see through the media and government hype. Also foreign propaganda has a lot to do with it.

A further flaw in the question is that it implies everybody in Iraq and North Korea hates everybody in America and rather inflammatory. It is like asking why do wives hate their Mothers in Law?
