The reason many persons in other countries be they Muslim or not, hate
America is because of our completely greedy and fucked up foreign policy.
The fact that most Americans watch CNN and blindly believe everything the
propoganda machine tells them, doesn't help.
I would bet you ten dollars that SuperChimp couldn't find Iraq on an
unlabeled map of the world, yet he is very willing to send me and my friends
there with a quickness just because he wants to rule the world. (But I'm
afraid...Saddam could bomb us.) Why would he want to?
If Americans are incapable of understanding the roots of this hate then
there is no hope of making it go away.

Bush is very representative of the American military mindset. All cock and
No brains, kill em all so I can live comfortably mentality.
The American dream is false. It ends in divorce and prozac, and canecr.(No
offense)
I don't hate America, just greed and stupidity.
