Know what gets me, is how certain seemingly flippant statements can be so true. They actually do hate us because of our freedom and democracy. GWB was right, and once one is aware of exactly what this brand of freedom and democracy is, they usually hate it as well. If we weren't meddling, encroaching, and exploiting them, do you really think they'd give a rat's ass about the freedom our women have, or Jerry Springer? Please don't misunderstand me. Though freedom is a relative term, we certainly enjoy levels of freedom that they don't. And you're right that my comment was flippant. Hell... I don't even like what we stand for. I think our system is rotten from the top all the way down. I say forget an overhaul. Scrap it, and build new. Collectively, we're a bunch of lemmings. We're incapable of critical thinking, and ready to go over a cliff... yet hopelessly entrenched to vain entertainment and allowing others to do our thinking for us. We do seem perfectly content to bicker amongst ourselves over what's the best band-aid to cover a hemorrhage, or debate tax and spend vs. borrow and spend. We have been indoctrinated to think in terms of treating symptoms, and our indoctrinators have done a world-class job. The lemmings serve their indoctrinators well by focusing upon our differences and "scoring one for the team" instead of trying to find common ground (you being a recent exception). Ah... don't get me started, I'll be up all night. You're smart enough to know where I'm coming from. However, I don't see a threat of the Muslim Fundamentalist world encroaching upon us. Assuming they could even organize it, what would motivate them to pick a fight they couldn't win? And what specifically was GWB right about?
