Freedom Bombs

They hate us for our freedom;

The reason for this is clear. The American media has a script to which they loyally adhere. The U.S. can make mistakes and government leaders can be criticized for incompetence, but we can never do anything that is actually destructive or evil or which justifiably provokes hatred towards us by people in other countries -- not even bombing them and occupying them for years and imprisoning tens of thousands of them with no charges and replicating the behavior of their hated dictator. Any views that suggest such a thing are simply not heard.

This is related to Obama's pastor, Wright, and comments made in the distant past about Vietnam from Martin Luther King, jr, and also the rise and atrocities committed by the Nazi's in Germany.

Glennzilla is focused on the media narrative that it is impossible for the United States to act in a way that is less than noble, but I think it would be interesting for him to go deeper and examine why societies function that way.
