Why is it that everyone seems to hate the US?

The US invades Iraq. Sipposedly Unilateral action. (I recall seeing several different uniforms along side those American troops. And when multiple countries are involved, by definition it is no longer uni-lateral.)
A country whose ruler gased his own people, killed citizens who talked bad about the gov't and other atrocities. A country who was in violation of UN mandates. Etc... Etc... you've all heard this before.

BUT... The world gets Pissed off because we wouldn't get UN-approval.

So, it comes time to deal with North Korea. The US tries to establish a multi-country talk including major countries in the world and region. No no no, everyone wants the US to deal with this one solo.

Can't win either way....

OK, disaster strikes. US coughs up $$$ like always. Now we're "Stingy" because we quote a dollar figure that is strictly gov't to gov't money and doesn't include what all the organizational and private money will be.

Do these people not remember the Marshall plan? You're welcome Europe. We know that it was leveled during World War 2, but we decided to give you a hand and finance the rebuilding. Japan. You're welcome. Our occupation there was done rather well. We helped modernize your economy and 40 years later you are in a situation where your products and practices are what other nations model. Do these nations that call us "stigny" not realize how many countries get money from the US every year? And how much they get?!?!?!?

If the US was to go just one year without giving another country a dime. And one year with keeping all the US troops at home. It would save enough money to finance social security for the next century and allow some lovely tax breaks and help out education and still have money left over.

But yet, everyone still hates us, except the British and Israelis. Who both realize what we do.
