<<Bush wasn't chosen by the electorate, he was chosen by the Far Right Supreme Court Wink>>
Minus the wink, sirs, you sure got THAT right.
As for plane's idea that the same electorate that voted in FDR also voted in George W. Bush, I almost hate to break the news to this gentle soul, but somebody's gotta tell him: plane, sit down and brace yourself - - most of the people who voted for FDR have died a long time ago and are now in heaven, (unless they cast their votes in the South.)
plane also wanted to know when enmity was rising against the U.S. and asked whether it was . . .
<<During the period that the USA learned to feed the world and promoted the Green revolution feeding the worlds poulation better than ever before...
<<During the period that the USA fostered democracy helping it survive the attack of despotism and promoteing democracy to the point that it is the most common system of government ...
<<During the time that the US encuraged free trade and enritched its tradeing partners with dollars ...>>
to which I would answer that it probably started in most places during and after the U.S. invasion, bombing, occupation and terrorization of Viet Nam although in Latin America it probably started after the U.S. government, on behalf of a few Fortune 500 companies, overthrew the democratically elected government of Guatemala and installed and supported a vicious military dictatorship that killed hundreds of thousands of its own people, mostly after horrific torture and continued to do the same all over Central and South America. I don't have time to deal in detail with the rest of your hilarious attempts to mischaracterize as benevolent altruism what the U.S. was actually doing in the world, but to keep this focused on the Middle East, where the thread belongs, I would say that:
anti-Amerikkkan sentiment was smouldering in the Middle East as it became evident, after the Eisenhower administration ended, that U.S. support was really tilting from neutral to pro-Israeli, but really caught fire after the First Intifada, when Israeli brutality became front-page news everywhere BUT the U.S. The stationing of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia appears to have set off bin Laden and his followers, whose chief objective was to demonstrate to all Arabs and Muslims the real menace that Amerikkka represented to them and turn them against their bought-off pro-Amerikkkan rulers.
