Why Does the World Hate the US?

[Hatman 🍁]

Everything that the modern day Republican leadership believes in. The War in Iraq, backing out of the Kyoto treaty, backing out of weapons test treaties, not signing the landmine treaty, SUVs, a lack of paid vacations and similar rules for workers, and being rich.

Finland hasn't signed the landmine treaty and I don't think that anybody hates us because of it!

Hmm... I never knew that. Time to hate Finland

Here in Canada, one reason is perhaps American ignorance. I know that annoys me.  Bush deffinately didn't help things. I think Bush single handedly prevented the Conservatives from winning the election this year. Another reason that annoys me is American influence in Canada. I heard that Canadian films are in the foreign film section here. That makes no sense... Bush comes off as an idiot. I'm not going to say that he is an idiot, but that's the way the media presents it. I think he is the laughing stock of the world, but his policies also anger the world.

Jealousy is just the easy way out of describing it. It goes deeper than that. It means that the US has to work that much harder to have a good global reputation.  However the opposite is ture. Surely it would be hard to be envious of truly noble nation? Of course the real way to fix the US's global reputation would be considered too radical and indeed anti-patriotric to ever be implemented. So I say good luck with that.
