It goes way deeper than that. Islamic fanaticism is at the root of it. They are indoctrinated at a young age to hate America. To them, we are the plight and plague of all their problems. When you have a country where dictatorship is common place, and freedom of the press is non-existent, that said group has complete control and power over it's people.

And it certainly doesn't help us much that after 9/11 people were pulling arabs out of their cars and beating them. Or us torturing muslims and ******* on them and their qu'rans. Or the fact that quite a few of us refer to arabs as "sand niggers". So yeah, we can blame them, but if we don't look at what we're doing to make us a target, then nothing will change.

They don't like how we as a nation relate to them and the ME. They don't hate us, they just hate the policies we make re them.

Attitudes toward American values, people, and products remain mostly favorable, but have also declined in the past two years.
US policy is the major factor that accounts for the low US favorable ratings and the decline in these ratings.
These factors[values, people and products] have no impact on Arab attitudes toward US policy, which remains low and drives overall favorables down.

Poll Shows Growing Arab Rancor at U.S. Those polled said their opinions were shaped by U.S. policies, rather than by values or culture. When asked: "What is the first thought when you hear 'America'?" respondents overwhelmingly said: "Unfair foreign policy."
And when asked what the United States could do to improve its image in the Arab world, the most frequently provided answers were "Stop supporting Israel" and "Change your Middle East policy."

I'm an egyptian, But i don't hate american people BUT i extremely hate its administration and its violence against us .

But you know what ? I sometimes blame american people Because without their votes, Bush wouldn't be thier president, And i can't excuse you especially after the last elections which means your agreement with what he does .

I hate american army very much, I hate what they do against Iraqi people, I hate what they do against its prisoners everywhere . I hate them when palastinian people are slaughtered by american weapons .

In the past, I was dreaming to visit America, But now i can't endure the idea.

I can say you have a very ugly face toward the world especially Middle East.

You support our enemy i.e Israel, You support our despotic rulers .
You don't know how much you're hated here, I know what i say .

In short, USA is the other face of The Devil here .

Aleem,

I'm really not sure if you, or anyone that shares your ideas, knows what the last election in America was like. We had to choose from, what most people agree, were two idiots. Kerry was better in my opinion, but not by much. It mainly came down to how divided we were. We were greatly divided and then faced with two equally unappealing choices.

Perhaps you say hatred for lack of a weaker word, but hatred says quite alot.

Props to ArchEnemy. My signature rocks hard.

Yeah dude, everything you've said about why you hate America have been said about us by Americans that love America (I've probably said half of them!)

Plus Bush didn't win as a vindication for his war policy, but instead he somehow convinced a lot of America that democrats are immoral, and hated Jesus, and so on, and so he won. Less than 40% of America support what we're doing in Iraq currently.

Just wondering do you recognize Isreal as a country or not?

There were different reasons that people re-elected President Bush, for instance, I saw nothing that Kerry could do that would actually bring about good for the country and felt that all of the progress we've made to re-establish a consumer driven market could be destroyed by one signiture on the wrong economic bill, Kerry was very weak on the economic level IMHO and I also believe he played the monetary classes against each other to further his agenda. I also didn't trust his take on the war, but that was secondary.
