Yeah, Im from Sydney Australia and re people hating the USA a lot of people probably hate Australia too. eg - people who live in mud huts and have to scavenge for food might wonder why Joe Ordinary in Oz has a TV, computer, mobile phone, car etc and is really cheesed off cos he can't afford the latest home theatre package yet.

I was in the USA some years ago and the people I met were very friendly and hospitable. Hating an entire country is no different than hating an inanimate object like a chair or something. There may, however, be some justification for being a little disappointed with the group of people who spend their lives getting into positions of power and then don't seem to do much to address the imbalances in the world.
