Those of us outside of the USA are inundated with American culture through the media and also American arrogance. We are criticized when we do not wish to take part in the same wars as the US (such as Iraq, Canada stayed out it). Many of the United States' foreign policies directly impact our lives adversely. It does get rather tiring at times. The USA is not the only country in the world, yet oftimes the American government seems to think or act thusly. I believe that is partly the reason why many outside of the USA feel so resentful. It not the people of the United States so much as your government many are opposed to.
