I got what [info]pyat was saying, he was saying that because of certain asshatery from the Powers That Be American, we, as a country are pretty much hated by other countries.

I don't think that's what he's saying at all. Our relationship with the States tends to be very mixed. We have good reasons for having some negative feelings, but at the same time, we generally see America as a pretty good place with pretty good relations with us. We look up to America even while we resent being looked down on in turn. It's not so simple as "we hate you."
