You still expected ALL the world to love you?

No, but there's a difference between not loving a country and dancing in the streets when they are injured. We don't dance in the streets when Iran or China get hit with earthquakes.

Or perhaps its cos you're still surprised to find that war is often waged on a people, not just a few armed members of a people.

I think we were surprised to find out that we *were* at war. We know now, and so do our enemies.
