I think it is true that much of the world hates us, and like you say, 
some of it is for good historical reason, but it doesn't matter why it 
just matters that they wish for our failure and demise.  Look how many 
countries secretly thought "they had that coming.." after 9/11.  Even 
some of our "allies" said that.

When was the last time you openly asked for the best thing for your 
enemy?  Our enemies don't want us to do better in the world arena, they 
want to eliminate us from the world arena.  In a picking contest, you 
want your picks to be better than the other team's picks, and you smile 
when they make a weak pick for their team.  You don't hope that they 
pick the strongest player, do you?  Of course not.  So again, why is the 
world, from the terrorists organizations to countries like Iran and even 
our rival, on again-off again ally, France , wanting Obama to win the 
election?
People can't help themselves,,,,they always smile when their enemy or 
rival stumbles or makes a bad decision.  It's human nature.
