I'd say this quote from Bagpuss' link is pretty revealing:
The Washington Post reports that 80% of the U.S. foreign aid budget actually goes directly to American firms.
If what this former Chief Economist of the World Bank says is true, perhaps this is a big part of why the US is loathed in so many parts of the world.
