Why are so many people in the world angry at the United States?

Isn't this something Americans should know more about?

How do most people in the Middle-East and Northern Africa feel about this:

U.S. wipes out Sudan's pharmaceuticals production in mistaken 1998 attack.

"In 1998, when President Clinton launched cruise missiles at the harmless al-Shifa medicine factory in Sudan, claiming it had been making VX nerve gas for bin Laden, intelligence sources were emphatic that they had got the right target. Piece by piece the U.S. case unraveled, as it emerged that bin Laden had never owned the factory, while it had been manufacturing two thirds of Sudan's pharmaceuticals."  [The Guardian (UK) 9-23-2001, "Race to find the final proof."]

"This single atrocity destroyed half the pharmaceutical supplies of a poor African country and the facilities for replenishing them, with an enormous human toll .... [The] actual toll in the Sudan case can only be surmised, because the U.S. blocked any U.N. inquiry and few were interested enough to pursue the matter. That the toll is dreadful is hardly in doubt."  [MIT Professor Noam Chomsky, 9-30-2001]
