The "reason" that people in other countries hate the US is because we are a free nation, in fact the only nation on earth whose leaders are chosen by the governed. The only one, period. Japan, Israel (which doesn't let arabs vote at all, btw, so is therefore not a democracy,) Canada, Mexico, the whole of Europe... None of these places are free nations. It is against the law in almost every country in the world to badmouth the ruling party or the organizational structure under fear of imprssionment, torture, or death. The only thing they are allwed to complain about is the fact that we, the citizens of the US (thank the Lord above,) can criticize whomever we choose. It blows their minds that we are free, and they hate us for getting up everymorning, going to work, joining the military, taking care of and educating our kids, while at the same time, sending military and financial aid to these self-same countries. If you live in the states, it's inconcieveable to you that these fuzzy foreigners would, instead of making a pact to join individually to promote their own nation self-interesrs, riot to protest America, when their own government is in shambles and the national treasury looted by bankers from France, Switzerland, Aruba, Monaco, England, the World Bank, etc. And why is it inconcieveable? Because we long ago got our shit together, kept it that way, and were then asked by all these bozo nations to "help" (oh man, that's a good one) them git they own shit together. The rest of the world is a fascist state, where your position in life is set at birth and you can't do nothing to move up in the world. Not to mention the basic lack of civil amenities like running water, paved roads, and a jury system.
Now, on the matter of law, no soldier, as far as any of the pictures has so far shown, has committed any sort of crime.
IT IS COMPLETELY LEGAL TO HUMILIATE AND DENGRATE A CAPTURED COMBATANT. THE 4TH GENEVA CONVENTION NARROWLY DEFINES TORTURE AS INJURIOUS OR MAIMING ACTIONS. Period. The liberal media (read, the fascist dictators mouth pieces) will lie as they do every day about the "atrocities" and their meaning. Where is the parallel world-wide gasp, the congruous universal shock, the same cosmopolitan sense of horror and desire to see the perpetrators brought to justice, along with the condemnation and vilification for the brutal and disgustingly cruel and barbarous behavior the Iraqis have shown to CIVILIANS, that we see over nothing, a mere triviality that those swine had coming to them in the first place? Well suhprise-suhprise! It's nowhere to be seen anywhere in the world. Whodathunkit.
