I was just thinking about something similar in the shower today...

It seems the United States in only interested in spreading freedom and equality and democracy to unfriendly nations. Iraq is painted as a backwards middle eastern nation, while Saudi Arabia (friendly to the United States) is an oasis in the desert...

These attitudes toward the United States are actually nothing new. I remember sitting in a pub in London five years ago chatting about the Imperialistic United States. It's just been brought to the forefront by the current debacle in Iraq.
