There is nothing wrong with being gay. I have no intention of watching two men have sex because I think I would find the sight slightly vomitous but I also feel that way about sushi. Doesn't make it wrong.

Terrorism has never worked. It has a 100 percent failure rate. It merely strengthens the things it is trying to destroy. And of course they hate us. We are the face of the west and they hate the west. Every move we make whether domesticaly or not is publicized much more widely than any other country. We are the wealthiest nation in the world. That is going to draw hatred to it.

Now is that the extent of it? No. Obviously it isn't. A great portion of their hatred for us comes from our friendship and support of Israel. Who they hate even more than us, by the way.

Oh......and you're wrong. We were not forbidden to go to war with Iraq. The U.N. voted not to go and therefor didn't sanction the war. This did not include expressly forbidding anyone to do it.

And again......you're wrong. We already had a coalition of about 15 countries ready and willing to go into Iraq before we ever attacked. The reason that the first assault was done by America alone is that we had received intelligence that we decided to act upon and we didn't have time to coordinate with our allies.

And as for your allusion to the idea that I think America is just the center of perfection I have already answered this. Of course we have problems. Of course we are flawed. But you are claiming that we are the worlds greatest evil and that we are so arrogant that we can't admit any wrongs. This just isn't true.
