That is probably true, but if you read the newspapers you'd think otherwise. The US has a pretty good humanitarian track record, but every little thing gets blown up outside of proportion. And of course, the US has an economic system that the world politically hates. It's not socialist, so it's constantly held up as an example of how bad things can be in Europe. America's economy is huge, very free and not a dictatorship, so every middle eastern country, China, and so on are very afraid of it, making sure that every media available in the country regularly excoriates it. Problem is that the US press picks up on an article from these places on a regular basis and reprints a rewrite of it. Impressions matter more than actual substance. Otherwise China, or for that matter Palestine, would be looked at very differently.
