I think... the whole 'America hates Arabs' thing is very simple, because what Arabs see is the US going into places like Iraq or Afghanistan, or aiding Israel, and Arabs being killed in collateral damage. And whilst the US can justify that as protecting their own security from possible future attack, I think many Arabs can feel entitled to be aggreived, because it's they who are being killed (unintenionally or not); and what they probably would think is, "is one arab worth less than one American, because it's ok for us to be killed to maybe save an American life".
So I think sometimes America goes too far in protecting its interests, expanding its sphere of influence so far that it does look like an imperialistic state (or wannabe); there's no doubt that Saddam and the Taliban were utter gits (and that other governments are), but what right does the US have to make that decision for the people of those countries? And because America is the only superpower, it's not experienced that in a long, long time (if ever), and doesn't actually appreciate the damage that it is doing. The reason I tend to get pissed off at America in particular, is because I think as a democratic country with constiutionalised freedoms, it should know better than that.
Which is moving OT somewhat, I realise.
(NB: America == US government or foreign policy)
