Of course Thierry, the US is the supreme master power and superior race of the world. Manifest Destiny says that the US has the God given right to conquer all. The Monroe Doctrine and Roosevelt Corollary say that the US OWNS the entire western hemisphere, and that anyone that interferes will "have to negotiate militarily with the US".

[edit] The Arab world hates the US because the US interferes with their lives too much. In the '80s, the US destroyed the Iranian democratic government and set up the Shah dictatorship, only to be overturned by the people a few years later. The US has "aided" Afghanistan during the war with Russia, the US has "aided" Al Qaeda to launch attacks on Soviet Russia in the 80s.
This is not the only reason, one of the main reasons is because of American ignorance. If you go to a typical American, and ask them what Pakistan is like, what would they say? "Uh, it's a desert, and there's some towelheads on camels". It's actually an economic country with 150,000,000 people, with cities the size of American ones; the people have cars, jobs, everything. They go to the malls, movies, music, but does the average American know that? Only 11% of Americans (can you check this Moose, you posted this before) can find Iraq on a map. On the list of economic countries, the US ranks second to last in intelligence, only beating Mexico, the top was Sweden, with Denmark and Germany following.

They hate the US because we interfere with everything.

Where are you from Thierry?

[edit]Oh, I just wanted to say that, the German exchange student, I saw on her backpack today, she has an anti-nazi button, and I said it was nice that she's showing that she's anti-nazi, because a lot of people think she's nazi...yet a good portion of the school is in the nazi club...ugh.

Oh, and in English today, we talked about using the word "nigger", and I was DISGUSTED by people saying that they should be free to say it, and that when they say it, even if a black person hears it, that because they're not in the conversation, that they shouldn't care. MY GOD, is it that important that you have to argue and argue just to try to justify using the N word? I refused to say the word in class, and people just keep on going on about how no one should care if they use it.
