Actually Black I spent my years in uniform and ate my sand.

My brother-in-law, several close friends, and my former unit are over there now.

I don't blame America first since I believe these Islamofascist feel it is their religious duty to destroy us but that does not mean that a rational person cannot understand how liberal "Hollywood" culture could give a negative impression to other nations.

It is not improbable that more people in the middle east recognize Madonna than Dick Cheney. Like it or not Hollywood represents America in the minds of many overseas. Being a father of two youngsters I can see how that would give one pause if they were not used to it.

Thanks for the rational discussion. I am sorry my point did not meet your expectations so feel free to ignore my posts from now on. Have a nice evening.

There is something to what D'Souza says. Thanks to Hollywood, America does present a bad image to many people around the world.

At a certain point you must respect those who have served in the Armed forces.

But when you start blaming Madonna for Islamist maniacs rammimg planes into the World Trade Center...or planning dirty bombs in NYC and Chicago....you have lost your way.

Madonna is not disemboweling American GI's or burning Blackwater volunteers to a crisp.
This war has been on and off since 600 BC before Jesus or mohammad.
America has done more to save lives lives ...invent medications ..then any country ever.... not to mention our economic engine has helped lift the entire world out of misery. From the Declaration of Independence to inventing flight... blue jeans and rock and roll too standing down the commies and the nazis the world owes us a debt of gratitude.We are exceptionally.

WE ARE NOT TO BLAME FOR 9/11!
