Why do you think that we hate the US? I rarely speak to anyone in Europe
who are against the US. If I find one it is usually an extreme left wing
nut.
The way the media shows it, there are more US citizens / fringe groups
who hate the US than Europeans.
But you have so little nuance in your analysis of the situation that you
think disagreement is the same as hate. That kind of binary view makes
this debate very unproductive.

Where have you been for the last forty years? Europe has had it's fair
share of Terrorist attacks I think.
I'll leave this Iraq discussion now. It's going nowhere fast.
