Just because "everyone has done it" doesn't mean it's less wrong/bad.
The point of everything is that if people hate USA, it's not for "dumb reasons".
Main reasons people hate America are.
(1) Top and foremost, the political image of the US - hawkish, constantly in other country's business, going about its interests just as any other, but much more aggressively under the deception of "liberation, freedom protection", etc, etc.
(2) Ignorance of the mainstream Americans regarding the realities of the world. Not fault - ng else is hardly ever mentioined. Nevertheless the fact remains
(3) General attitude of "America is best in the world" "Americans are best people", "America invented best things the world possess", "America won WWII", "America won Cold War" (especially the latter 2 are so very far from the reality). This point is the consequence of (1) and (2) mostly, yet a major pet peve of non-Americans. The reality is, the world has perfectly made it through its history and to the year 1776 before America didn't exist. While indeed a lot of wonderful inventions were made in the US, even more were made elsewhere. Many were *repeated* in the US, but yet taken the full credit for. Hint - neither radio, nor electrical lighting nor a computer were really invented in the US. Popularized - maybe, invented - no.
But the point im making is point fingers at America is wrong. All the Major countries have done something wrong. We can't change the past but we can work towards a better future. But people are too ignorant and think the world is only about them.
