Last I checked, Communism was responsible for the deaths of roughly 70+ million people. Yet the West, in your view, is engaging in mindless, irrational hate for being opposed to such. And then you treat bin Laden as some kind of other irrational Western bogeyman.

Which makes you no different than the looney American libs that FR opposes every day of the week. Same crap, different continent.

Again, in comment #22, I addressed that issue. From the perspective of many Taiwanese friends (again, comment #22 which reflects pre-Civil War China), the West is simple to understand, first religion then gunpowder. So the counter argument would be how many people has religion killed in the history of mankind?

In addition, being in Europe, most people want to know why Americans hate people who have been different than them throughout its history and until today. When one tries to explain the complexities most people don't understand "shades of gray" and would rather if things were explained in a "black and white" sort of way. I tend to think "black and white" explanations are a thing of the past and gray complexities are the future. So I've analyzed and criticized China, Taiwan, the Dalai Lama, US presidential politics, black America and "black and white analysis" but the black side of issues will say I'm on the white side and the white side will probably say I'm on the black side so I tend the think the best solution is for black and white to continue to kill each other forever and I'll still be gray, living in a gray society in southern Spain in peace.

Well, last I checked, Christianity has largely outgrown that. Meanwhile, the new religion of the hard left, totalitarian communism, killed last century on a scale not seen before in human history.

And living under the US NATO defense umbrella. Where you can live in deliberate, abject ignorance as you spew derision and invectives at the country that made a peaceful Europe possible. Typical lame lefty.
