Ignorance. Honestly, hatred of people of whom you do not know can only be the result of ignorance. It is irrational to hate a country. It may be rational to oppose a government's policies or an individual actions, but to hate a group of people is simply irrational and the first step towards handing out blanket judgements. > "What have America done to the world." Furthermore, what has the world done to itself? The American governments have made mistakes, but they have also benefited the world significantly.
