Which is that many many people in the middle east resent and hate the US. Well, I guess I can see that you apparently have something in common with them.. That is why the torture and humiliation of Iraqi prisoners is such a bad tactical mistake. Sure it's a mistake. But it was a tactical one, made at a local level by local commanders and soldiers. It was NOT a strategic policy that I can discern. And if it's ever discovered that it was, then it's very likely Bush will not be re-elected, let alone avoid impeachment. But none of those individual actions mean that the overall American policy represents such values. Just look at how well US soldiers treat Iraqi and Afghan children. Is that a "tactical mistake"? Sure there are people who hate us. I have relatives, sad to say, who hate black people DESPITE the fact that they've never even seen one. They are products of their upbringing and the brain-washing inflicted upon them over the countless years by their own brain-washed adults and governments. So are you going to tell us, dear Sarmad.. US military veteran and citizen, do you hate the US too?? Hawk
