Ah, the Americans. We're loved and we're hated. Loved not so much in the traditional sense of course, but more often times considered "the center" of western culture, the trend setter, the powerhouse that generates a major portion of the world's economy, the trendsetter, and alas, the protector. America...you can't live without it, no matter what.
And thus the reason we are hated. Hated from jealousy that our standard of living is so much higher than the rest of the world. Hated for having the fundamental freedoms that no other nation on earh has had bestowed upon them. Perhaps that is America's mistake...it's freedoms have gone too far, and we have allowed ourselves to be infiltrated with the filth and lepers of evil who wish to carry out their viligance as a symbol against the nation to be envied of the rest of the world neighborhood.
Yes, the world is somewhat divided on whether to love or hate America these days. Think people think! What would "The Bin-Laden Channel" really have to offer??? What would be the best comedy series they could produce? "The Camel and Me"????? I've chosen to love America, with all its shortcomings and criminal wrongdoings, it's still the best place on this entire planet to be free - to live in dignity, and to give a secure future to our loved ones. The spirit of this nation has never been stronger - and a resolve for what is right and decent will prevail. I wonder how many of those AEK Athens fans take their next holiday in Kabul!!!!!!!
