Skip, I gotta tell ya, I'm beginning to hate the word "Freedom." I recognize your further explanation that their hatred of us is complex and you're correct. But no, they don't hate us for our freedom. Like Steve says, it is our Western culture they have such a problem with, and freedom is just a part of that.
Freedom is also used by the cons to pretend as though freedom is the deregulation of business. So, "freedom" is being slung around as a political bludgeon, with the completely dishonest pretense that conservatives are all about freedom, while liberals and the rest of the world by contrast are the anti-freedom enemies. Give it up. Liberals and the rest of the world like freedom too. It's just that we're nto fooled into thinking "freedom" is something it's not.
Conservative activists could not have had a better heyday than recently. The so-called "Patriot Act" is the best example. Regulating people, and deregulating business is freedom. If you believe that, then
1) I've got a real estate deal that will make you rich beyond your wildest fantasies and
2) You are a conservative.
