Why can't the rest of the world see our benevolence.
Let's momentarily aside those who really are simply viscerally anti-American (i.e. who are incapable of seeing anything in objective terms) and concentrate on the others.

Seems to me the better question then is why you seem incapable of perceiving the great harm you do as well. You're blind to it, and can only lament "But our intentions are so pure."
That blindness really pisses people off. Trust me.

My advice: Look at the people you elect. Really look at them. Ain't no benevolence there at all.
