Freemans rantings sound similair to a JW defending their religion. Where did you learn the bible from? Who taught you bible truths? If it wernt for the society youd be in darkness. etc etc.
The original poster put out a very good point, why the hell does the US go after Osama only and not other terrorist leaders who have done far worse, and then ally themselves with a mass murderer?
Pride in your home is one thing, irrational religious-like worship of what is just a big chunk of dirt is another.
As for the many posts critsizing america, Americans are often ignorant of international media. The world is very anti-America because of the United States recent irrational actions. They withdrew from the anti-land mine treaty, broke the anti ballistic missle treaty, got voted out of the UN (again reflecting world opinion) Start calling entire countries names (calling north korea an axis of evil is not much different from saying China is full of idiots..you expect something more mature from a world leader) Don't forget the US's dark ages death penalty, despite the fact that most of the world has abolished it. Britain said if they found Osama first they would not hand him over to the US. Gee, I wonder why.
