Why does Turkey hate America?

This article at Asia Times is a pretty fascinating read. Thoughts?

By promoting "moderate Islam" on the Turkish model, Taspinar adds, America undermined the secular state founded by Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the modern Turkish state after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I. That is why secular Turkish nationalists hate America just as much as Turkish Islamists.

Seems like we're making everybody mad in Turkey...
