France, in particular, lives in a "glorious in their own mind" past with not a whit of moral persuasion or manifest destiny. And that must be why more than 80% oppose the invasion of Iraq. After decades of alliance with the US where they have pretty much never opposed the US. I see. I live in a little town surrounded by France. I speak French. I talk to them and follow their press in their language. I can tell you that illusions de grandeur is not the reason why they oppose the current US policies of preventive invasion. But I guess that must be incorrect because your press tells you that it's because they are "glorious in their own mind" that they oppose the US invasion of Iraq. Are you beginning to see a parallel with that way of thinking and the way you accuse Arabs of hating the US because their press tells them to? People like Osama don't need the US to project their hate I would agree with you that Bin Ladin is a different case. But we were not talking about him. We were talking about Arabs and Middle East people (not all of whom are Arabs) and Muslims in general.
