Why does everyone hate America?

I have found an article in the Daily Telegraph which is titled 'Hatred of America unites the world'. This article suggests America is a country that many others see in a negative way. The article suggests the main reason America is 'hated' is because of its dominance 'Being hated is what happens to dominant empires'. The article also suggests America is 'hated' by not those they see as enemies but allies such as Jordan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia as well as European countries for which they give italy as an example '  Anti-Americanism is nothing new in European politics'. The article caught my attention as although it gave statics it never really said why these countries 'hated' America. It touched on Americas foreign policy and its world dominance however i didn't feel it gave enough evidence. In Wednesdays lecture we were given a sheet which gave percentages of many other things about america which other countries viewed as positive or negative, such as literature and food. I therefore feel this article would create an interesting discussion in our group as i feel it generates the asking of questions such as can countries hatred of america be generalized to one thing such as foreign policy? and is America really 'hated'?
