Who Hates the U.S. policies in the Middle East?

And what were the policies that caused the hate?

I for one think everyone (i.e. Rudy Giuliani v. Ron Paul) is purposefully missing the point for their own selfish reasons.

First, those who hate the U.S. in the Middle East are undoubtedly members of one of three categories:

  1. those who are oppressed because of our best efforts to oppress them (i.e. Al-Qaida, Baath Loyalists, Sadr Loyalists, Taliban, Iranian government, Hezbollah, Hamas, etc.)
  2. those who are oppressed because of our lack of effort - historically - to free them (i.e. Iraqi (historically - see aftermath of Iraq War 1), Kurdish, Lebanese, Syrian, Iranian, Saudi, Egyptian, Afghan, Pakistani people, etc.)
  3. those who are ignorant of the U.S. and our beliefs in democracy, liberty, freedome of religion, and free market capitalism

We don't care about the people in group 1. In fact, we want these groups to die out. In fact, we should be doing everything we can to speed up these groups' destruction/obliteration.

We do care about group 2 and 3. Yet, they still hate us.

Second, I do think that people in Group 1 hate us because of our democracy, liberty, freedom of religion, and free market capitalism. But as I said above, we shouldn't care about Group 1. They are useless to try and "fix". They are better off dead.

But we do care about group 2 and 3. Yet, they still hate us.

Given all of the above, then what is the best policy to advance in the Middle East to address the hatred of groups 1, 2, and 3?

And what would be the worst policy to advance in the Middle East to address the hatred of groups 1, 2, and 3?
