But somehow they never, ever, ever bring up clinton and his "war", uh, "strategies" of bombing civilian targets from 15 thousand feet, like TV stations, aspirin factories, etc.
The closest they come is usually to wave their hands vaguely and mention that "America drops bombs" on such-and-such places. They might even specifically refer to Iraq, aspirin factories in Sudan, even Serbia.
Yet they never mention by name the mastermind of the attacks: Bill Clinton. Instead, it is deemed to be "America" which planned and carried out those wag-the-dog distractions, and so "America" is at fault (and, implicitly, on some level, "deserves what it got" - even though few of these jerks have the guts to come out and say that this is what they really think).
All this so they can continue to avoid criticism of their boy hero clinton.
I wonder why none of the left-wing "why they hate America" opinion columns even mention Clinton's name? Gee, I wonder.
All that having been said, one must admit that this did not start with Clinton and his civilian bombing tactics. Even without him they, and many others, would still "hate" America.
Like Bill Maher, they were complicit; and they can't admit that they put him in power and fought to keep him in power.
Maher railed against the American "cowards" who sent bombs from across the horizon, and then apologized for implying our military was cowardly. Never once was the name of the man who gave the orders mentioned. The scum support the scum till the bitter end.
We can't do much about having fought from Saudi soil. The Saudis were probably shaking in their boots with Sadaam at their gates, but we who came to help are to be reviled.
Oil, oil, oil. The money that we sent to buy the oil is now used to finance the terrorist attacks against us. And it is not the ignorant who lead the attacks, but the middle classes of the educated like with all revolutions. If they had remained poor and truly ignorant, they never would have had the luxury of learning how to attack us. "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing."
But will the anti-Americans (especially the American anti-Americans) ever concede that if we shouldn't have fought to maintain the WORLD's oil supply in 1990-1, then should we have built nuclear plants all over America like France did or should we have drilled off our coasts and in ANWR? I'm sure their answer is that we should have all put our cars at the dump, taken public transportation and used bicycles, and never have invented the energy sucking internet.
I believe that European socialism has been propped up by the dynamism of our country for a long time.
The Queen of England is perhaps the only one out there who understands that George W. Bush has inherited a world in which he has to answer 911 calls with precious little backup. And if America falls, so will Britain. And this is probably why Her Majesty sang every word of our national anthem last week.
Well, let's hear it for the SAS and M16 and for Tony Blair getting his face rubbed in reality. He really did look awful Thursday at the joint session of Congress, didn't he?
