There are a number of people who hate the United States. I think the reason for this hatred is that they are envy of the success of the USA economically. The United States by far is still the richest nation in history. One vents its economic frustration to the richest one alive.

What is wrong if one follows mostly American things or values? During the cold war an Arab leader was asked whom they want to side with, the USA or the USSR. The guy did not answer.

Although most think the American way is to be greedy and what not America also stands for belief in God and family. I just wish the later will stay if not improve.

As one Australian put it, "We don't hate you [the Americans], We hate your leader [Bush]."
