The statement you made, where you inferred that having military bases in other countries could be causing anti-US sentiments or is somehow wrong and unjust.

You are getting further and further away from your initial statement. Funny thing is that as much hate as they are supposedly taught it is our country which is over ther with military bases all in their sh*t.

Then you answered my question with another question instead of explaining your statement. I wont bother to answer that question since irateplatypus wrote the viewpoint I would have expressed:

the bases are there because we rebuffed an iraqi takeover of kuwait and prevented a possible invasion of saudi arabia. those bases are there with the consent of the national governments. we were invited there, we remain there because the governments consider us the lesser of several evils... necessary to the stability of the region.
