Can somebody tell me why....?

Question

why do middle eastern people despise americans like they do? i mean, most of us are regular people trying to live a good life and have good morals and families? why do they hate us so much? if thers someone there who is from that region of the world and knows what im talking about from first hand expirience, id love to hear from you.

Answer 1

well, for the most part they just want to live their life too.

Naturally our respective lifestyles are different.

There are thousands of years of history related to political and social conflict between the two groups, hundreds related to Americans.

You know the Marine fight song with the lines "We will fight our countries battles ... to the shores of Tripoli" - have you checked where Tripoli is and what and when the Marines might have been there?

Anyway it is a complex world, and we can;t simply ignore each other and pretend the other doesn't exist - our economies are too connected for that - so we have to find some middle ground.

Answer 2

For the most part they don't. Many Iraqis do because we have slaughtered many of their family members.

Answer 3

U.S. has declared wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, supporting Israel over killing kids and women

Supporting the last war on lebanon, and sanctions against Libya, Sudan and other states

Believe me they'll never stop hating America unless the latter changes it's attitude towards the ME states
