Yes Void and now as well. As we speak Hong Kong is chalk-full of political unrest in the 14-30 age group and militia's are forming daily.  Rebellion is just around the corner, and once again the US is a large player in deflecting the angst a different direction.
but isnt it NATO thats helping in this situation.. UK, US, AND Belgium being 3 of the 19 countries
This is true Void, but the UK and Belgium aren't under attack here, really just because they aren't looked upon as the world dominating country. See, it basically boils down to what inmates call "hating."

It's not that people don't like the US, it's that they envy the US. Don't hate the player, hate the game. The US does, because it can. The UK is the sameway, only a bit more polite about it. ;)

Don't bite your tongue, those examples are nothing to be ashamed about...at least from where I sit. I've always thought of the UK as a large part of our daily lives and have never held any bad feelings towards them. The British military is one of the best in the world, and it's no doubt they have helped us, and we have helped them so many times in the past.

Sorry SM but I can't recall ever reading/hearing/lip-reading/seeing where anyone accused the US of being a terrorist country.
Excessive, power abusing, arrogant even, but never terrorist.
So that argument doesn't "work" for me.
Noam Chomsky - Professor at the MIT for 35 years now

(nm chm´sk) (KEY) , 1928–, educator and linguist, b. Philadelphia. Chomsky, who has taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology since 1955, developed a theory of transformational (sometimes called generative or transformational-generative) grammar that revolutionized the scientific study of language. He first set out his abstract analysis of language in his doctoral dissertation (1955) and Syntactic Structures (1957). Instead of starting with minimal sounds, as the structural linguists had done, Chomsky began with the rudimentary or primitive sentence; from this base he developed his argument that innumerable syntactic combinations can be generated by means of a complex series of rules. 1
According to transformational grammar, every intelligible sentence conforms not only to grammatical rules peculiar to its particular language, but also to “deep structures,â€ÂÂÂÂÂ

You'll not find a civilized country, with a modern world economy, ever say that the US is a terrorist country.
