they hate us because of israel/palestine from 1948, from overthrowing iran's democracy in the 50s, supporting israel and theit retaliations/wars/mossad actions, and some from afghanistan, iraq, kuwait, afghanistan (the proxy war) and some even from the crusades, from which stories are told as if they happened yesterday.
the big problem is that hate isn't natural, its taught, it's learned and they can REALLY hold a grudge.
I don't think hating us for our houses that they can't see or don't care about makes a lot of sense. it was stupid when bush used the "they hate us because our women wear hig heels" argument in 2002. I think they have much more concrete and serious issues.
I think he skips the whole, banking lost everyone else's money, got bailed out, and left everyone they stole from holding the bag (while losing their houses etc) I know a lot of those people shouldn't have bought into housing they couldn't afford, but the banks got trillions in 0.01% interest government loans and hundreds of billions for free.
is a bank getting trillions at 0.01% interest, investing it in government treasuries at 3% and then keeping billions in profit fair? Cause I'd like to get in on that. The banks DID NOT use the bailout or loan money to continue lending, which was the whole point, but if you've tried to get a loan right now, even with an 800 rating, it's a LOT LOT harder than it used to be.
