You shouldn't be offended. By all means, say the same thing for my country and my people and I would take it like a big boy. Truth hurts but I ain't hiding from it.

Americans (and not just the govt) are not free of guilt. They've shown repeatedly that it takes but a small effort for them to accept other people as "enemies". It takes less, for them to offer opinions on bombing other countries.

75% were on Bush's side when he marked Iraq as a target. 57% (according to recent polls) are in favor of bombing, even nuking Iran. Imagine... what % will be for it when the real propaganda kicks in.

These are numbers that show it's not political divisions or different points of view that motivate them to take such belligerent attitudes against other people. Its a cultural thing. It has to change. It must.
