"the civilized world is against us....." They are against you, JF. Not us. "As a test, name one country where the population is in support of us..... " It's not a popularity contest dude. Only about half of the population of our own country likes us. There are MANY, MANY people like you who can only hate us. I chalk it up to jealousy when from other countries (or religious fanaticism that hates our way of life). The locals like you that hate us are a bit trickier to figure out. Kind of a doomsday, guilt, self loathing type of thing. A lack of confidence in people and what they are capable of is another. But there could be classes on the reasons why people like you who have presumably done well under a free and democratic capitilistic system hate it. I feel kind of sorry for these folks, really.
