I think what he means is that you hate what the country represents and yorr picture of the stereotypical inhabitant. In the case of the USA and Israel, perhaps it extends to hating each and every last citizen, but generally, it more relates to hating the 'idea of so and so".

Exactly. And I think you're right about who would win the "Which country do you dislike the most" poll. The optimist in me is holding out hope that there is enough hatred of other countries to disperse around the globe that we wouldn't be a runaway favorite....but then again...

Who really cares, what nation is the world's most hated?

No, Iran belongs to an Alliance between Russia, Armenia and Greece. I think the U.S. is hated because of George W. Bush. Despite the US congress best efforts, ever yeer he vetoes the Armenian Genocide Day bill because he doesn't want to hurt Turkey's feelings. And, Armenia gets no assistance in our affairs because we are just one of the few deomocracies in this part of the world. But, beside GWB, I love the US.
I think North Korea is the 1st.
China is 2nd.
France is 3rd, they never reelly make anyone happy.
UK is 4th.
US is 5th.
Then hmmm???

As long as you love yourself, that’s what really matters.

And what alliance may i ask is that?

**IrishArmenian** · 09-02-2006, 04:31

Greece is strong allies with with Armenia, correct? Armenia belongs to a 3 way pact between Hyastan (Armenia), Iran and Russia. I just count Greece along with us. The Greece-Armenian alliance is mostly based on Christianity and the historical dislike of a certain country. I almost got to travel to Greece for a sort fo exchange officer training, but I was called up.

Its more like a 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' for Greece's relations with Iran and Russia. A strong Iran gives our own terrotorial rivals (I am Greek) something to think about. I do not think that the Iranians like us back though, I ve heard that they never forgot the whole Alexander thing.

The Greeks (as the people, not the government) will in general sympathise with anyone the US tries to 'liberate' because we had a 'nice little US made' dictatorship ourselves. All Greeks love to hate America over a burger and fries.

Its a jumping off point. What lies below is up to the posters. Could be Liechtenstein, could be that Russia, Armenia and Greece have a common enemy. Could be the idea that the English not only are hated by others but by themselves, and they really don't care.

I still don't know who the common enemy of Armenia, Greece, Russia, and Iran is, but I'm putting my money on Turkey.

Curious about the Enlish being hated and being unmoved by the hate. True ? If so does this differ from France. Is this why the French are as Don puts it "Slowly sinking on this list as their strategy of appeasing everyone outside of NATO continues to pay off" ?

Were the French somehow effected more by percieved wrongs in their forieng policy that they have swung the pendelum in the other direction while England has for the most part stayed on the same path ?
