I didn't say that just because someone hates you that you should bow down to them or do what they want........I'm just saying people hate for reasons, and yes - those reasons are not always justifiable.

When Bin Laden started asking for the things he asked for - he wasn't a Terrorist, so complying/working with him at that point wasn't like dealing with a Terrorist. The lack of communication or America simply saying "screw off" is what started his dislike. Bin Laden didn't hate America when they used him to fight Russia. Also, how do we know if when you give a Terrorist an inch, he will take a foot? It doesn't hurt to try, no? Bin Laden didn't strike first. The first strike was the abandonment of him and his army and his people after they fought for the US.

I didn't say that hate cannot be dissolved through actions, but violence usually begets more violence. Usually hate is dissolved with love.

I'm not telling America to stop hating - if you read the post correctly, you will see I said America SHOULD NOT be hated around the world.

I'm not painting a picture of America as the lone bad-guy, that would be wrong, but America is on trial here due to it's decision to attack Iraq, of course I'm not going to make, say, Monaco as the center of attention on this subject.

As for Foreign Policy - I have no problem with it - as long as it is fair across the line. I don't think America should have troops anywhere but on American soil, but there are cases that do need attention - problem is, nobody asked America to be the World's Police. And how come when North Korea threatens the US with their weapons, the US listens?

I have two questions......

1. Why is America in the Middle East anyway?
2. If Canada tried to occupy Kuwait, would America intervene and why?
