[Fifth Business]

"They hate is because we are free." Possibly the dumbest thing ever uttered by a President not named Clinton.

Why is it dumb, oh aptly-named one? Their societies are not free and they do begrudge us or liberties.

People don't hate abstractions, and freedom is an abstraction, especially to those that do not have it. It's like hating "hope". They may wish they had it; they may do what they can to get it; but they don't hate others becuse they have it.
