I've seen many Will conservatives admit, I'm sure there's also some Will conservatives admit but regardless.
Will liberals admit that the majority of the countries in the Middle East hate us, and wish death upon us? They did this while Bush was in office and well before Bush was in office, can you at least take that single step in the right direction

The hate of America from the middle east has gone as far back as the Carter administration!! Iran hostage crisis!!! That's as far back as I can recall. Might be further back.

Who cares if they hate us, or wish death upon us? They can rattle their sabers all they want. Rattling sabers is what politicians do in order to stay in power & whip up popular support (American politicians do the same thing: ever wonder why no major abortion bills or gay marriage bans got passed despite a dozen years of Republican control of Congress? Yet they always stir up those issues come election time & never do anything about it once in office.) Some country hating us isn't a problem. Some country actually doing something to attack us? That's a degree of hatred which these countries obviously haven't reached yet (probably because they love how we buy their oil & make their leaders rich.)
The "countries" (i.e. the governments) of the Middle East haven't attacked the U.S. Some terrorists representing not "countries" but multi-national terrorist organizations that are beholden to no particular nation attacked the U.S. on 9/11 and other occasions. We may actually need the help of some of these countries if we are to really fight terrorism & punish those responsible for attacks against the U.S.
But if other countries hating us is a serious problem, then why do they hate us? I'll give you a hint: It's not jealousy. It's also not hatred of our freedom. It's our support of Israel. Is there any significant evidence of hatred of the U.S. in the Middle East prior to the foundation of Israel? Not enough to differentiate Middle Eastern countries from countries anywhere else in the world. An additional source of hatred might be the European colonial history in the region. It was a long time before Americans stopped hating the British after colonialism & the Revolutionary War. While America didn't colonize any nations over there, American industries surely profited from the inexpensive oil that colonialism provided.
Do you want people in the Middle East to stop hating us & wishing death upon us? Do you want a solution? Simple: stop American support for all the vicious attacks that Israel has performed not out of self-defense but out of wanting to spread their settlements. Support peace & you support goodwill. Support more conflict & you promote hate.
Sure, I can take a "simple step in the right direction", but almost nothing in the Middle East is simple. Do they hate us? A lot of them do, yes. You make this sound as if it's a problem. If it's a problem, then solve it (and you can't solve it by killing them: that only makes more people hate us, which allegedly is a problem.)

A lot of people in the Middle East hate us, yes.
I'd say the number has probably tripled since Bush declared a Neo-Crusade on them.
An entire country cannot "hate us", only a neo-con would make such a gross oversimplification.
People all have their own opinions. Believe me, there are Iranians who love America and Americans. They might hate George W. Bush and what he is doing, but they can seperate that from the people of the United States who didn't vote for that ignorant hillbilly. Just like more intelligent Americans realize that not ever single Iranian approves of what THEIR maniac ruler is doing either.
Use your brain.

Admitting to something to simple and irrelevant of the real truth's behind what's actually going on is like Voting (R) or for Bush--sorry no can do.
Impeachment and oversight are steps in the right direction--maybe then the tragedy of our circumstance and how we reached this point will make sense to you. Not backing the President on anything when you know the facts behind his Corporate war for Oil disguised as a war on terrorists(Iraqi Patriots) is beyond your intelligence I guess. Here's a link:

Joe McCarthy could be smiling in his grave if he ought to examine this submit. no longer possibly. Hollywood is the Jewel interior the Crown that lots of the worlds political and social strikes want to get help for their schedule from. while Hollywood acted as though there become no such factor as 'Gays' they have been slammed for residing in denial, now they supply Gays interest, they're slammed for merchandising gay-ism. Hollywood in basic terms won't be able to win. Mankind does no longer desire Hollywood to make a screw up, Cain never observed a Kill bill action picture in his existence, yet he battered able to death and lied approximately it. The Mayans have been slaughtering hundreds of human beings a year for human meat to consume, and that they never observed Silence of the Lambs.

Liberals blame Bush for everything. according to them, the world loved us and wanted to be us until W was inaugurated.
The fact that Somalia, the USS Cole, the first World Trade Center bombing, the bombing of Pan-AM etc. all happened before he got into office are not relevant to them , 9/11 was another attack but the liberals blame Bush for that too. they don't do anything but hate just like the terrorist who want us dead

Actually, they do seem to admit that they hate us. They just don't think they're capable of hurting us though... I guess that's why all the conspiracy around 9/11. It could never have been a TERRORIST, they can't hurt us...

Yea after you admit it was alot more peaceful before he was in office. Not all of them want to kill us. I would like to know what reasons you are basing that assumption of them wanting to kill us on. Because of there religion which is based on all the ones you see here in the united states. Or how were going over there and taking control of there country last time i checked that was the current administration.
