It's just a reflection of the power the US wields and the fact that it has such a profound impact on our everyday lives. Any country with that kind of influence is going to heavily scrutinized and criticized.
Agreed, the U.S. is global, so much so that it's influence is felt all over the world. Rather then seeing the U.S being the world's "police force", i'd like to see it being known a unifying "peace force". It takes far less energy to get along 'at least civilly' with a neighbor then it does to be at odds with or at war with them.
P.S. Generally speaking, ordinary 'people' all over the world get along well with each other, it's usually nationalism, politics and religion that fuck things up.
