If you think much of the world does not hate America then you must have forgotten about sept 11 already and thats just one giant example instead of pointing out the continued hatred that does not make the news daily. I think people have a right to complain if america does not provide relief. Like I'd be making a stand if the countries I'm from didn't contribute. Maybe that's why they might hate america, if there ignored by them and don't receive relief. Anyway I don't think they lead the world. America is last or near last on the list of western countries foreign aid. They give a lot but you can't expect a country of 6 million to match the contribution of America. If you look at the statistics america is far below the world leaders, I think last . . . .

I do not buy the whole statistical argument theory. I think it compares apples and oranges. Also, when America's private money is considered, it is even larger. But, people do not see it that way. So be it.
[/QUOTE] . . . . believe what you want its not even an opinion its a fact that that is not why a lot of world hates america. [/QUOTE]
Actually, it is not a fact. it is your opinion. Do you really think not even one person out there feels that way
Anyway - this is a dead horse.
