Reader comment on item: Why does the world hate America?

I believe the world hates the Americans and their country because the heritage of the industrial nations of the world far pre-dates America, yet it is America that has the economic and industrial power. The world hates America because it boomed when the rest of the industrial nations were nearing bust.
