It depends on how you define the U.S. If you're talking about the 280 million Americans, I think on the whole we are good people who are just trying to get ahead with our lives. If you're talking about the American government that is currently oppressing those 280 million people, that's a whole different matter. People often like to confound the two: if you're against the US government you're branded as "anti-American" (a rather strange word when you think about it...how many times do you hear about "anti-Canadianism" or "anti-Italianism" or "anti-Mongolianism"?) and thus you are accused of somehow being "against" all 280 million Americans. It is very important to distinguish between the citizens of a country and the state that rules over them.

I think what the American government is currently doing to this world is absolutely horrendous. The Bush administration clearly either orchestrated or exploited the 9/11 attacks to justify its oil-grabbing warmongering foreign agenda, and to justify cracking down heavily on civil liberties domestically. I think America is in the process of turning into a fascist régime, and this can only be countered by the masses rising up against their oppressors. Unfortunately, there are so many indoctrinated sheeple that this is a far-off prospect and I myself will be emigrating in the next few years to avoid what is coming.
