And the US gets involved in foreign countries because of its own interests.

I would have to disagree just based on world census, USA is not a very popular country. Unless yours need to be bailed out of a mess. Then we are invited to the dance. After all its for Democracy! Right?

Why are amerkins hated so much

Because they are dumb self-centered loud mouth idiots ?

thank god, they are a few exceptions

You're confusing dislike of the US government and it's policies (true), with dislike of US citizens (false).

^ I don't think he is smart enough to make that distinction

SR,
They both are intertwined, it is the fabric of America (Democracy). You dislike one you also attack the other. When one gestures towards USA - It is " You yanks .................. " or "Those bloody Amerkins...........", etc. Not "Your policies ............... "!
Try not to seperate the truth from reality! It's in you (hatred)! Big Time!
In time you will learn Americans are not all that bad. Just our sense of humor is a bit tangent!

Butterfly,
Your whole life has been looking for a nickel in the corner of a circular room.
Clueless!!!

What a load of bollox!

So, according to your logic, when US citizens protest against US government policies, they are also showing their hatred for fellow Americans?

You better up your game if you want to conduct serious debates on this board.

Please provide an example of a country the US has rescued/saved since being "hated"

Eyeraq ?

Take Iran for example
American policy was to keep a favorable Despot in power(the Shah of Iran)
All legitimate political opposition was not allowed.No opposing political parties!
There was no freedom of the press.Iran was not allowed to grow as a nation,remember the Persian people ,on the whole are pretty sophisticated people,the Farsi language is considered a poetic language by scholars.
The secret police"Savak" were trained by Isreali specialists
In short there was complete state control,sanctioned by the U.S

The ONLY place that the Shah or the Americans couldn't close down were ....you guessed it...The MOSQUES!

So where did legitimate political differences and dissent end up going?
The mosques..and with the help of some very disgruntled old Mullahs..many young men were indoctrinated with attitudes that were previously alien to them!
Eventually even the U.S could not prop up an illegitimate govt.for ever.

Conclusion..Forget about your knee jerk response,be a little more reflective,study history a little,and perhaps the world might become a little more understandable.
Remember FOX and CNN are not really news anymore!
Put down those flags everyone !!!
There are better ways to resolve conflicts

Are they still hated in Vietnam?

You know, what with all the saving they did there........

when you stop killing our troops with your friendly fire we might start coming around a bit. but we don't find your friendly fire one bit f*cking friendly at all!!
