	Anti-American sentiment - Slider
		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 by communist countries after the war.
		Some Americans answer that this was a sign of the high quality of American movies with respect to movies from other countries, and that Americans are not interested in seeing unknown foreign actors in movies, or movies with a foreign language.

		Some of this sentiment is related to the war in Iraq and allegations of U.S. imperial ambition, but it also has deep philosophical and historical roots.
		To a remarkable degree, Gramscians marched through American institutions in the latter half of the twentieth century, spreading a philosophy of group rights that resulted in the acceptance of affirmative action and other categorical forms of ethnic and racial privilege.
		American intervention overseas in response to humanitarian concerns may appear to be overreaching.

	U.S. Muslims' pro-war sentiments weaken / Worries about bombing Afghan civilians deepen in community
		American Muslim leaders who have endorsed the U.S. war on terrorism are facing a growing backlash from community members concerned about the effect on Afghan civilians and broader U.S. war aims.
		In Washington, Aly Abuzaakouk of the American Muslim Council said he continues to support the air strikes because they have not yet achieved their objective: bringing to justice the perpetrators of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
		But while there is "strong sentiment" in the community to stop the military campaign, Al-Marayati said, the group is not planning to call for a halt because of fears of a backlash that could target Muslim individuals, schools and mosques.

		But that sentiment is shallow, and a deeper anti-Americanism is emerging in some parts of the world.
		Most Americans think their country reaches out to the rest of the world to help solve problems and promote economic development, but few people abroad agree.
		But their sentiments may be more a testimony to the bankruptcy of their indigenous governing and business cultures than they are an endorsement of American values they have only read about.

	Defusing Anti-American Rhetoric in South Korea
		Rather, the major source of anti-American sentiment is the growing chasm between U.S. and South Korean perceptions of the threat posed by North Korea.
		While Americans' concern over the dangers presented by the North Korean regime have been heightened recently by Pyongyang's dangerous game of nuclear brinkmanship, South Koreans seem to fear that U.S. firmness in response to North Korea's policies increases the possibility of war on the peninsula.
		The politicization of anti-American sentiments in South Korea has caused undue distraction from the close cooperation and coordination that is required to address the North Korean threat.

		On one level, it is not very important whether the Americans actually have a document outlining their intentions to "contain China." More significant is the fact that the differences between China and the U.S. -- on ideology, human-rights concepts, family planning, basic values and many other things -- are becoming more open by the day.
		American policies toward China display a fatal flaw: their lack of a notion of history.
		Even as eminent an American sinologist as John King Fairbank tends to relegate China-U.S. ties to a kind of "love-hate" mode.

	Asia Times Online :: Middle East News, Iraq, Iran current affairs
		The growing American calls for greater Lebanese sovereignty is viewed by most Lebanese as crass opportunism on the part of Washington, which for decades has undermined Lebanon's sovereignty.
		The bottom line is that the complexity of Lebanese politics and the new dynamics on the ground in reaction to Hariri's killing precludes any premature claim of American credit for whatever positive developments have emerged in that war-ravaged country challenging the undue influence of Syria.
		Furthermore, it is unlikely that the widespread anti-American sentiment in Lebanon will change as long as US demands that Lebanese sovereignty be respected appear to be limited only to situations where the violator of that sovereignty is not allied with the United States.

	ANTI-AMERICANISM IN IRAN

		Two years ago if I'd heard a report on NPR's Morning Edition about the "growing pro-American sentiment" in Iran I wouldn't have thought much about it.
		Many of the high profile opponents of the current Iranian theocracy proudly identify as liberals and secularists.

	Lobbies Influence, Not Make, US Foreign Policy by Leon Hadar
		Israel and its political lobby in the US are political entities that promote the specific interpretation of the political concept of Jewish nationalism (Zionism) that is not shared by most of the Jews who do not live in Israel and by more than 25 per cent of Israeli citizens who are not Jewish.
		Whether an American citizen supports close ties with Israel depends on whether he or she perceives that to be in line with US interest and/or values and not on whether he or she is pro- or anti-Semitic.
		And if and when President Bush or another US president decides to change policies in the Middle East based on calculation of American interests — for example, by launching an opening to Iran — even the most powerful lobby in Washington would not be able to prevent him or her from doing that.

		Thus the mullahs' decision to go public with their nuclear technology seemed intended not only to impress the neighborhood, but also to curtail the chance that Washington might accuse them of working on a bomb clandestinely and destroy the enrichment lab.

		There, a Kosovar Albanian man, a geography teacher, sat at a table in the home of a Kosovar Serb and spoke of people "in dark corners who work to undermine efforts [of reconciliation between Albanians and Serbs] because it's not in their interest to reconcile." Similar sentiments were repeated by others in Kosovo.
