There are arguments to both sides on this point but since America was in the very distant future at the time of the crusades that is not a good point. If you attack the US for past actions of thier allies shouldn’t we still hate Italy?
It might also have been the B-52’s, B-2s, F-117s, total support for anything Israel has done, including stealing land and piracy at sea of ships trying to aid Gaza citizens cut off from income, food, and water?
Mabye it was Grenada and Panama, and Nicaragua, and an attempt to overthrow Chavez in Venezuela, or maybe backing Pinochet in Chile, or the generals in Argentina who created all those " disappeared" folks? Maybe it was 50 years of being pissy and stupid on Cuban policy and allowing “wet foot, dry foot” for Cubans while decrying all other “hispanics” entering the country?
Our policies have done a lot to “tick people off”, like bombing Iraq and trying desperately to start a war with Iran, while we still continue to occupy Afghanistan and back a leader there we put in power, whom the people hate (outside Kabul).

laughed, “lol, no. I didn’t say everyone else on this planet watches CNN.”
You said: “Much of the news they get is from the mainstream media which is biased against the US.”
…which I queried and you replied with “They watch CNN. CNN is biased to the Left”
Can you substantiate this [that “they” watch CNN]?Who is “they”? Do you think non-Americans’ only news resource about American events and policies is CNN?
Ansonia attempted to deflect with"“But are YOU saying that everyone on this planet hates us?
Not at all. I, at the very least, like Americans.
I read your reply and stated disbelievingly: ”They= everyone else on this planet who isn’t American watches CNN. Uhuh.“
No mention of hate in my reply.
Ansonia asked: ”You do know that Canada just stopped an attack and the UK is attacked too, right?"
Oh, why do they hate us, too?!Perhaps because they’re your allies and were part of the coalition of the willing.

Right, right, the hatred started after the drone attacks. I wonder what powered them during the medival times.

Oh? Prove it. :-|
Ansonia also delcared that “ I don’t care if other countries like us or not. ”
Well, ok, then you’re fine with continued attacks against the USA and Americans.

And now the military wants to use drones in Syria? Huh? That should help tarnish our image in the Middle East even more that it already is!
