I can't speak for him, but I'm pretty sure that much anti-US feeling
throughout the world is based on that - you have nice toys and aren't afraid to show
them off, and they don't like it. Instead of making their own, some of them want
to break yours - or steal them.

And the rest of the anti-US feeling is probably based on the way we
invade countries on trumped-up charges; lie to our own citizens as well
as the rest of the world about everything from global warming to weapons
of mass destruction; try to use the U.N. to legitimize our aggression
when it suits us, and thumb our noses at them when they won't play our
tune; and generally act like we're the boss of the whole world, even
with a leader who can't correctly pronounce "nuclear."
