	Anti-Americanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anti-American sentiment in Europe originates with the discovery of America, the study of the Native Americans, and the examination of its flora, fauna, and climate.
		This sentiment was expressed in 1768 when court philosopher to Frederick II, Cornelius de Pauw, a chief proponent of this thesis, described America as a bunch of "degenerate or monstrous" colonies and claimed, "the weakest European could crush them with ease".
		These sentiments became even more widespread during the interbellum and Great Depression and sometimes tended toward the anti-Semitic: the belief that America was ruled by a Jewish conspiracy was common in countries ruled by national socialists before and during World War II and by communist countries after the war.

		Americans in his eyes were thieves in their relations with Indigenous peoples and African slaves: "How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of negroes?" He famously intoned that, "I am willing to love all mankind, except an American."
		These sentiments became even more widespread during the interbellum and depression and sometimes tended toward the irrational: the belief that America was ruled by a Jewish conspiracy emerged in countries ruled by national socialists before and during World War II and in countries by communist countries after the war.
		The vast majority of Americans who have not immigrated to the country in their lifetimes are monolingual, while many continental Europeans speak one or two languages in addition to their native tongue, and many educated Asians (including Japanese and Chinese) have at least a fundamental knowledge of English.

	Boston.com / News / World / Middle East / Iraqi detentions fuel anti-US sentiment
		ABU GHRAIB, Iraq -- The American military is holding some 8,000 Iraqi security detainees without trial or formal charges, most of them in a prison where at least six US guards have been criminally charged with abusing inmates.
		While legal under the Geneva Conventions, the detentions are proving disastrous to the public image of the US-led occupation authority, as hundreds of Iraqis freed this month spread stories of dismal prison conditions and say they were never told why they were arrested.
		US officials insist they treat the prisoners fairly, but the widely circulated stories about seemingly arbitrary arrests fuel the sense of injustice here; even as the coalition builds democratic institutions for Iraq, including a new court system, a parallel legal system for detainees persists with few apparent rights for the accused.

		In the case of the American of Cuban origin or descent, the fray has been joined by elements from all the political spectrum showing the success of the smear campaign and the vested interests in the complicated US-Cuba history.

		Not only it may bring votes to the Democratic ticket riding the anti American-Cuban wave, but it will also swell the coffers by the gratitude of the merchants represented by the US Chamber of Commerce, the Multinationals, the members of the Progressive Caucus.
