Or perhaps you may care to re-read what I wrote. Countries don't burn the US Flag, people do. We too often send money to prop up governments which support US policy or the multinational corporations we like. I would prefer that we support governments which use that aid to meaningfully improve the health and welfare of their citizens. Sometimes the citizens of those countries don't agree with their own government and resent the large role the US has in supporting that government. Sometimes if "they all hate us", which is not accurate, it may be time to evaluate why.
