But, if you have a rod or other device for spanking, I suggest you save it for the perpetrtors of this attack, their supporters, and the long list of apologists we have endured in this world for the last 4 decades.
If the rest of the world wants to, it is certainly welcome to adopt free market economics, democratic political systems, and systems for ensuring their basic civil liberties. At that point, they may, after some time to learn what having real lives are about, cast off their envy and enjoy the rewards that are open to all in this world.
Instead, most of the "developing" nations sit in dungheaps called nations, listening to masters (which operate said dung heaps as family businesses) tell them that the "Evil Americans" are oppressing them.
The time is short, I hope, for Chamberlain-esque hand wringing about the "reasons" why they hate us. They hate us because they have been told to. They hate us because because because wastes of human skin like the author of this whine fest have told them that it is valid for them to hate us. They hate us because apologists assume that we have what we have based on immoral actions, not understanding what freedom and energy can accomplish. They hate us because it is easier (and safer) to believe their leaders and not change their own systems and leaders to gain actual freedom.
They hate us because we have hated our own liberty and nation for the last 40 years and agreed with them.
