on the grounds that would not fall in with the historic myth narrative that the college equipment teaches little ones. i did not comprehend lots approximately American historic past till I have been given to varsity and a chum counseled I study Howard Zinn's "A people's historic past of the U. S.." That grew to become right into a real eye commencing e book and adjusted my perspective on what's being taught at school. yet another e book you will possibly desire to evaluate is Noam Chomsky's "Mis training" that's on the subject of the subject rely you're asking approximately on the instant. If greater people might study books exterior of their college that's not Republican or Democratic BS then we'd probable have a greater perfect united states of america.

Well, 12% is not that bad. But I think most of that is because the United States is the main ally of Israel- at least seen in the Arab world.

They hate America because we are one of the youngest most powerful countries in the world... the middle east is the only one to blame for the current situation...they have been violent and horrible since the beginning of time and eventually they will probably destroy the whole world!!!

The U.S. gives more money to Israel than to all other nations combined. Arabs know who paying the pills for missiles that destroy their homes and who is vetoing measures at the UN Security Council to condemn the actions of Israel. To many in the Arab world Israel is seems as a virtual branch of the U.S. and the U.S. is seen as Israel's protector.

To Al Jezeera, the Unites States is responsible for everything from wars to their kids cavities. They are nothing but a terrorist sponsored medium and I couldn't care one hoot about what they think.

Maybe they think that Isreal would not start the war if the U.S. didn't have their backs. Or, maybe they think this is part of the U.S. government's plan to get Iran and Syria.. I don't know just coming up with possibilities..

the answer is very simple... if a comet were to hit iran for example, the us would be blaimed by all people in the middle east... it's called propaganda intoxication. the us is seen by muslims as "the great satan" and all that is wrong in the world is the fault of the us

Well we are the strongest, richest people in the world. We have freedom and we sure enjoy it. People in the world can't take that and they are jealous about it.
All the people who hate USA - if they are given right to come to US they will leave all they have in their country and will come here, what does that tell you ? I know some of those people.

Because it's the thing to do these days, don't believe everything you read. Certain parties, here in the U.S. blame the President for hurricanes, they are idiots!
