A view from Europe
Almost every paragraph of that letter emphasises WHY America is hated not only by the Muslims, but by every other country in the world. Unfortunately the majority of you dont realise this, because there is surprising few of you who hold passports, and dont travel, the rest of the world does. If an American walks down streets in Britain, France, Ireland, Germany etc you will be told to fuckoff, due to the ideals you bring with you. Ideals I might add would be hard placed to find in America itself, freedom of speech (NO) freedom of religion (NO) freedom for everybody (CERTAINLY NO). You have to ask yourselves why are we hated, it has nothing to do with success, power or freedom, ask anyone here and the general concensus is they would rather stay where they are. They have the same success the same freedom, what the fuck would they need with power, what the fuck do you need with power.
The way we here see it is that power allows you to enforce trade embargo's, power allows you to pull out of the Kyoto agreement after every country in the world signs up to it, power allows you to drill for oil seemingly every where and anywhere, power allows the rich in your country to get richer whilst your poor get poorer Your power is absolute...
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely" Lord Acton
America in the scheme of things is the most powerful nation in the world, before that it was Britain, before that France, Spain and on and on to the Romans. Remember there were empires before yours and there will be empires afterwards.
You are a country of paranoia a country of fear, you are surrounded and fed fear constantly, television, films, work, health care. Your civilians have more guns than any other country on the planet, just what the fuck are you going to do with them all? Shoot the poor people and the ethnic minorities when they realise "wait a minute were intelligent, we dont deserve to empty your bins, clean your glasses.
Instead of trying to kill people for hating you, why dont you ask them why they hate you.
Incidently Spain pulled out of the war, not due to Al Quida, but due to the fact that a left wing socialist government took over and the people didn't want to be at war, thats a democracy.
Ask not what your country can do for you, but what your country can do for the rest of the world!
