Is there any other reason besides our current war and that we are allied with Isreal? Is it because we are a democracy, is it pent up emotions from the crusades? Is it from people like Bin Laden and hypnotism and what not? Personally, I think that if we are going to be treated like the bad guy when we are the good guy, we should go to more of a form of isolationism, not total, just less world involvement (besides the humaniterean aid). but though that would be nice, its probably impossible currently.
I think saying that speaking of hate is, except for some fanatics, a tad exaggerated.

I believe the core reason you are looking for is right under your nose - I mean in your own post. "I think that if we are going to be treated like the bad guy when we are the good guy ...", you say. Have you ever considered that there may possibly be different ways to be good guys, that yours is not necessarily the only and best one - best for you maybe, but not necessarily best for everyone - , and that nobody likes having other people's ways of life rammed down their throats ?
