We're hated from a lot more than that. Our entire foreign policy since WWII has been a quest to defeat socialism so that American foreign business interests could control the world. This has come at the expense of tens of millions of lives in countries like Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Congo, Iran, Afghanistan, Panama, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guatemala, Philipines, Nicaragua, Chile and yes Iraq too. And it has also come at the expense of democracy in half of these countries too. That is why we are hated. It will take a lot more than a new foreign policy to change that. It will take many years of a new foreign policy before we are trusted by the rest of the world.
