She must have hated freedom, LOL. The whole thing would be hilarious if it were not so depressingly sad. The world used to look up to the US, genuinely believing in the freedom of its people, freedom of information, and human rights being practiced there. This impression (no, the REALITY) changed so much in the last couple of years that Bin Ladin couldn't have hoped for seeing the US in such a miserable place in his happiest wet dream - once a champion of freedom and democracy, America now campaigns to obscure international conventions so it can cheat detainees out of their rights, arranges for them to be tortured, detainees turn up dead or photographed while being ridiculized in the hands of their American captors in Abu Ghraib and Afghanistan, hundreds of people still jailed with no recourse to law still. Americans skillfully manipulated into supporting this administration's lust of global domination, half of them still believing US attacked Iraq because it had something to do with 9/11. Government feeding on their grief over 9/11 with half-truths and plain lies, convincing them that they are actually doing good, and that the rest of the world that overwhelmingly disagrees with their aggressive and murderous world policies are "the enemy" who "hates American freedoms". LOL. Nobody seems to be asking themselves why, if the question is some hatred of personal freedoms, is Netherlands not in a war with these religious nuts, with its legalized drugs and legalized prostitution and its general aura of tolerance. Gee, they must be hating only American freedoms, you know, the ones that say your state can lock you up without your day in court or without even charging you of a crime.
