I am indonesian, but most of my time i spend in USA. Since september 11th, I asked to myself, why many countries hates America? When I asked my boss (American), he asked me back, "Do your people in your country hate tourists from USA?" I replied, "No!" He continued, "Yeah, most people hate America (the government and the people around them), but most people in the foreign countries like American." Yeah, maybe he is right.

That is a good point. I think many American hate America too. I guess America really refers to the government. Even though we are a democracy the people of America really aren't the ones running this country.
