I'm still amazed that people can't figure out the difference between people "hating America", and people opposing our dangerous, imperialist foreign policy.
I love America. I'm a New Yorker born and raised. That doesn't mean I have to be too stupid to understand how our neo-conservative government is by far the biggest threat to world peace.
Don't get upset or defensive when people criticize our country's leadership. We didn't elect them.
Sure people call us stupid for letting them take power, sure some blame us for what they do with our military. However, we do the exact same thing, blame innocent people for radicals in their country. Look at the current situation in Lebanon. For the most part, Americans think that it's ok for innocent Lebanese civilians to die, because they "let" Hezbollah exist. We blame everyone in that country for the actions of the radicals. I don't see the difference between that and people being pissed off at Americans for the actions of our government. The only glaring difference I can see is that we're actively involved in killing them, while people who are mad at the US, generally just complain about it.
