Comment Why america? (Score 1) 874
A lot of you wish for the american people to considder exactly why they are hated. You should remember that the american people are not to totally to blame, it is the Federal Government. Believing it is acting in the best interests of America and the Democratic ideal, it has done some horrific deeds.
Take Iran for example, In the early '50's iran was considdered a shining beacon of democracy in the middle east, having a democratic and popular government. This popular and democratic government made the decision to nationalise the countrys oil industry, which was TOTALLY owned by the British. This, of course got the backing of the countrys communist party. As a reaction, with the hysteria in the US over communism in the '50's, the CIA, along with MI6 replaced this democratic government with a horribly oppressive government under the shah. This can be directly linked to the islamist revolution in '79. Through your own imperialist greed, you created anouther poor and socially damaged nation. America, as usual, proved to the world it had learned nothing from this exploit by repeating the act in Chile, putting pinochet into power, who murdered thousands.
The reasons you are hated are many and varied, and unfortuantly, just.
