While I appreciate that y'all don't individually hate us and as Groucho said it'd be mighty bigamy if I asked for all of your hands in marriage.
I suspect the issue isn't so much the hate Jaybird brought up but the standing of the US in the community of nations.
A story to clarify my point. During the Cuban missile crisis President Kennedy sent a diplomat to see deGaulle in France. The diplomat had highly classified photos taken by U2s of the Russian misslile sites in Cuba. Relations between the US and France had been running hot & cold for sometime.
The diplomat explained the situation to deGaulle and asked for assistance. The diplomat then offered to show deGaulle the photos. De Gaulle is said to have replied "The word of the President of the United States is good enough for me".
Imagine that happening today?
