Michelle Malkin » They hate us, but they keep buying our stuff:

"Foreigners don’t have a high opinion of the United States, owing to the war in
Iraq, but that hasn’t done much to deter a ferocious appetite for American goods and services, as had
been expected.
Last year, U.S. multinationals posted record earnings in virtually ever region of the world and rose to a total of $291.5 billion — a 170 percent jump from 2001’s cyclical low — Joseph Quinlan, chief market strategist at Bank of America Corp., noted in a report on Monday.
Those figures run counter to the global image of America. A 47-country survey released in late
June by the Pew Global Attitudes Project documented wide anti-American sentiment
since the survey was launched in 2002 and found those attitudes deepening this
year.
The United States’ favorable ratings declined in 26 of the 33
countries for which a comparison was available, with negative views particularly
strong in the Middle East."

I think that the key here is that they love America, but they do not like the actions that are taken by our country sometimes. I think they still support the ideas that our country is based on, and the ideas that our system promotes, but are against the methods of power used by America across the world.
