dsmart I agree with you, but I think the reason why many hate America is not so simple as "people hate our values."  Rather I think it has to do with all the things our government (CIA, NSA, and other agencies and even the military) has done to foreign countries in our name; there are many examples.  We don't have to look too far, just look in the Americas at all the governments we've brought down and then installed dictators.  The list is long.
