I would also like to add that their is a substantial amount of genuine anti-American hatred in many places in the world, which is based upon American foreign policy.

I also believe that a majority of Americans may well support US imperial military adventurism, as a way of flexing our imperial strength in the world. For some bizarre reason, they just ignore the results that the British got, and think people will like us for "liberating" them from their own cultural traditions, and forcing McBurger capitalist "traditions" down their throats under the guise of "democracy and freedom".
