American values ... rejected by the U.S. government and by U.S. elites

chomsky...
The United States has become increasingly the most feared and often hated country in the world. Well, that perception is in fact incorrect. It's fed by propaganda. There's very little dislike of Americans in the world, shown by repeated polls, and the dissatisfaction -- that is, the hatred and the anger -- they come from acceptance of American values, not a rejection of them, and recognition that they're rejected by the US government and by US elites, which does lead to hatred and anger.

my experience is that there is VERY little dislike of americans in the world... the only time i have seen dislike or hostility expressed is toward our government or toward those who make a big deal out of proclaiming that our government can do no wrong...
