Why is the West hated so much?
I've had this discussion with some people from the east i know , especially the middle east for some reason and ; don't get me wrong im not pointing the finger , but it seems that there is massive hatred , disliking , abhorrence and mistrust of western countries like the UK and the USA. I just can't understand why. We are making peace in Afghanistan , made Iraq a better place and always intervene if a country is in turmoil. So why are we so hated?

Please try to research a little more before you ask such a question. There are illimitable and uncountable reasons why the middle east in particular shuold have hate for the west, especially america. The first is the obvious exploitation of our resources and the secret imperialism. I mean we all know what the invasions of iraq and Afghanistan are really about. It is all about the resources. Like we all know, they never found any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq or Afghanistan and the supposed war on terror that caused the invasion of these two countries was begun by an incident that evidently had nothing to do with these two countries. America has a secret plan for domination in the middle east. As I recall, it was Britain and America who dumped Israel right next to us in the middle east. Do you see what happens in Palestine as ethical? Is it making palestine better in any way? What you are doing in Afghanistan and Iraq is not making peace as your government would have you believe. you are occupying those nations by coercion for your own benefit, for resources, and because you may feel that they may pose a threat to you. Western countries are the ones with the hatred. They see us as either inferiors, or terrorists and it is in their every attempt to destroy our nations. It was the western countries who once ruled as after world war one and they are the backers of all the unjust governments that have been formed in the middle east. For example, the former Egyptian regime under Hossni Mubarak was one of the most oppressive and before America realized that it was going to fall, the US was the main backer and funder of that government. Saddam Husseein was also backed by America when he was fighting against iran but later they labeled him as a terrorist. I wouldn't be surprised if bush himself planned the 9-11 attacks. Anyways, I could go on for hours but everyone knows how corrupt and hypocritical your governments are. Have a nice day.

"We are making peace in Afghanistan , made Iraq a better place and always intervene if a country is in turmoil. So why are we so hated?" No, Not even close,and Intervene is the key word in that sentence.

Because people want to live their lives and not have some other entity meddle in them and dictate how they should live. You said it yourself, we "always INTERVENE". Think of the United States as a friend who always meddles in your life, you know that this friend is right and only wants to help, but you dont need this help, you are not asking for it, it only annoys you, pisses you off, and makes you not want to talk to this friend. The United States is like this annoying friend to the rest of the world.
@goodanddead: nicely said.
