in Islamic eyes, Americans are hated for several reasons: we are largely Judeo-Christian (this God claims to be "the one true God") we are wealthy and prosperous we are powerful and influential (our military is present on every continent) we occasionally throw our weight around too much we have supported some despicable regimes (e.g. Shah of Iran, Marcos, Batista, Diem, Nixon) we have achieved a certain measure of peace and stability our women dont wear enough clothing, in public or at beach we enjoy sex on television and in movie theatres our government sanctions the use of alcohol and tobacco we dont live in sandboxes we have an abundance of fresh water we laugh when hearing about Mohammed riding a chariot into the sky we use toilets we kick serious ass in Olympics I have strong doubts that our forces will use the "necessary methods" this will be a learning experience over time terrorists have very clearly pointed out the vulnerability inherent to open societies have you ever been checked for bombs when entering a Seattle Mariner game? dont be surprised to hear about frisking at Yankee Stadium / jim
