Many people around the world hate Americans and Americans can't see why.
We must ask ourselves why. Hate doesn't come out of nowhere.
Many here in FreeRepublic condemned the US attacks on Yugoslavia and the bombings in Sudan. The Serbs hate Americans for that. The Sudanese hate Americans for that. That is a totally rational and normal reaction for them. The Serbs don't hate us because they envy our "success" and "freedom". They hate us because our government bombed their cities and killed their women and children. I think that those of you here who in the past condemned the bombings of Serbia and Sudan can understand why Serbs and Sudanese hate us.
But of course, those incidents are not the cause of these latest attacks. There is a seething hatred among Muslims for the US. And it is because of the mindless support that the US gives to Israel.
Those Muslims don't hate us because we are "successful" or "free". They don't envy us because they view us, not without cause, as morally decadent with rampant "gay rights", feminism and abortion. They hate us because of our support for Zionism. I have said it before here that Islamic terrorism is caused by Zionism and nobody listens. The US can go out and get revenge for whoever did this. But the root of it all, US support for Israel remains, and so long as that remains the terorrism problem will continue.
We can get as much revebge as we want. If we find out that Afghanistan is sheltering Bin Laden we could turn Afghanistan into a radioactive wasteland. But the terrorism will continue. The proof of this is Israel. Israel has been getting revenge for decades. It deals harshly with terrorism, without any of the civil libertarian sillyness, but yet it suffers more terorrist attacks than any nation on Earth. It is because no matter how much Israel retaliates the root cause of the terrorism, Zionist religious fundamentalism, remains.
I say we should just let the Islamic religious fundamentalists and the Zionist religious fundamentalists kill each other if they want. We shouldn't meddle in their religious disputes. So long as we meddle in the disputes of religious fanatics we are going to be targets of terrorist religious fanatics.
Anyway, where is the outrage for the 1 million per year American victims of abortion?
You sound like the guys that say muggers are caused by poverty. I think muggers are caused by people who would rather steal than work. In case you have not noticed, the very principles that founded America are the exact same principles as Zionism. The desire to make a free and just land governed by the principles of Law and under God. The same reason they hate Jews is the same reason they Hate Americans. If Israel was bigger than America We would have gotten it first... Muggers hate the people they mug. They try to justify their violence too. Know what stops muggers dead in their tracks? It ain't handing them your wallet, it is a 44mag. Works every time.
It comes out of the anger of the hater choosing to obsess on and appropriate something that it wants and can't have.
As far as abortion, yes we have indignation for that too, but that is not the current event. If you have been here for any time, you would know that.
On that note, where is your indignation for Child Pornography? How about domestic abuse? Haven't seen you mention those, must mean you don't care, huh? Get it?
