Just as much as the Crusaders needed Constantinople..
The USA is the only world power at the moment something that makes it hated like every world power in history. Yes we need the US and the US needs us, but a lot of what happens in the US affects the rest of the world. This is nothing spectacular, its something normal and to be expected seeing as the US is a superpower.
When some years pass we will all be complaining about China being the biggest baddest evil of the world. Every country needs other country's, some just manage to get power and glory from it like the US has the last 60 years. Its what happens in the world, it hardly makes the US special. Just hated for now.
And because it is such a power and affects us all we can complain about it all we want. If it didn't affect us we wouldn't complain now would we?
