Why do some people hate America so much no matter what? Because every action of the US, no matter what the intention and no matter what circumstances, is always bad, even when the US can't really do anything about it. These are the "America-haters" where all the world's problems are the fault of the US.
Its fair to argue that America has been hypocritical throughout its history as it purports to be for freedom yet has supported brutal dictators. Thus most of the author's charges have at least some validity. But others do not:
Woodrow Wilson helped Britain and France redraw the European boundary lines in a way that guaranteed a century of wars and resentments — and that continued to trigger conflict in places like Bosnia and Kosovo as recently as the 1990s.
Sorry. War has been a constant throughout European history, no matter who drew the borders. The creation of Yugoslavia in 1919 occured so that the southern slavs could have a state of their own, outside the shackles of the empires who occupied them, from the Ottoman to the Austro-Hungarian. Blaming the US for the war in the Balkans today is like blaming the King of France (whose name I can't remember) who signed the treaty of 1763 handing over Quebec to Canada, for civil war if it breaks out 50 years from now.
Franklin Roosevelt — with the same "vision" as Woodrow Wilson, and with no more knowledge of history or foreign affairs than Wilson had — sacrificed the freedoms and independence of people in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Albania, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and China — to satisfy his own ambition to be the world leader who would guarantee peace.
This is the silliest charge. The Red army occupied eastern Europe and was not going to budge. After being savaged by two world wars in thirty years which killed tens of millions of her countrymen, Russia was going to establish a buffer to prevent that from happening again. Does this mean that the writer suggests the US invade eastern Europe and war with the Russians? If they had, no doubt the writer would have used that as another example of why people hate the US.
Ronald Reagan sent Marines to Lebanon to butt into a civil war there,
Oh right. Quite the resolve America had in Lebanon, turning tale and leaving after 200+ of her citizens died. Real efficient army of occupation that was.
Bill Clinton ... sent American troops to intervene in civil wars in Bosnia and Kosovo,
How many American troops were there in Yugoslavia? Seriously, I don't know. I always thought the US fought from the air in the Kosovo war. In any case, there was zero benefit for US national interests to be involved there. It was a selfless act as it risked US lives in a part of the world for zero strategic benefit, and the Europeans were powerless to stop genocide on their own continent.
