Altercation on the source of international disdain for America

They don't hate us, they dont hate our freedom - they hate our administration's policies...

Third, other states resent American hypocrisy. We condemn India and Pakistan for testing nuclear weapons and demand that North Korea and Iran forego them, yet we keep thousands of weapons of our own and are planning to build more. We lecture other countries about the rule of law and the importance of human rights, but hold thousands of detainees without trial and torture prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan. And when these abuses are exposed for the world to see, our President refuses to apologize and doesn’t ask any senior officials to resign. No wonder the rest of the world has less respect for U.S. leadership and growing misgivings about U.S. primacy.

God knows recent policies have not helped.
