Why Pakistanis hate U.S?

[LeGenD]

Typical reasons are as follows:

1. Hate-filled indoctrination against USA by Mullahs and even some Politicians
2. Lack of positive publicity of USA
3. Political incompetency always blamed on USA
4. Lack of relationship at cultural level between the two nations
5. Pakistan populace is generally kept in the dark about the 'ground realities' of various matters of national significance by its own leadership

It is not always Pakistan's fault though:

6. The old F-16 fiasco in which USA made a bad decision
7. Threats by USA and its unilateral actions inside Pakistan

In general sense, Pak-US relationship is not perceived to be based on mutual respect and benefits but rather slave-master like.

One thing that worries me is that many Pakistani people are so confused in these days that they can hardly reach a coherent conclusion about US related affairs. They mostly blame US for all the mess in Pakistan and its surroundings and seek refuge in conspiracy theories; thanks to the duplicity of Pakistani leadership (Military and Civilian) in national affairs and practice of misguiding people. This being said, US is not a saint either.

US was a friend till 2 years bacK with friendship and unholy alliance dating back since creation of Pakistan. They were having honeymoon with non- NATO alliances and all sort of things... then the radical minds influenced the society and the breakup happened.
