otto....recent US history is littered with foreign policy failures that propped up right wing governments- Batista in Cuba, the Shah in Iran - currently Uribe in Colombia.
Or other non-democratic regimes that the current administration buddies up to- most notably. the house of Saud. Combine that with attempts to characterize current foreign policies in religious terms as "righteous" or a "task from God" and you create a breeding ground for anti-Americanism.
