You're one of those. What a shock.
Why should I hide my head to the things we do that are evil? Not everything we do/have done was a good idea and carried out for th right reason. Why would I just act shocked when people don't like us? What kind of person are you?
I don't mean us in the sense of right now - more us-over-the-last-40-years.
I do agree though, we need to get rid of Islam,
and christianity,
and every other religion that has been the cause of the deaths of millions and millions of people.
It's a nice dream world to live in ain't it.
You shouldn't hide your head about the things we get wrong, but to say that because we do sometimes get things wrong despite our best efforts that we are just as bad as Osama Bin Laden is just plain silly.
You are correct. There's also the fact that we operate under a flag and fight as lawful combatants, openly bearing arms with uniform and rank clearly displayed.
Some of the things people have done in this country's name are indefensible - I'm not going to say we're bad all the time, but if we were to weigh the suffering, I'd say it's teetering close to even at this point (what with us destabilizing a whole region even more...)
See the problem is you say things like our "best efforts".
We do shit wrong just because we're super powers and feel like everything we do is right. Ask Latin America about how we were working in our best efforts to do things right for them.
Seriously, we're the big bully of the world, there's no denying that. We do things in our interest, not in the worlds.
