There's been alot of Bush bashing here at a time when Americans should be rallying around him.

Others have been suggesting that our misguided policies of the past have seeded the hatred abroad that has lead to our current dilema.

But in these are legitimate topics for discussion. And in the US you can openly question and complain about our government. It's a necessary part of our Freedom.

But the author K5 article in question effectively says that we have gotten our just desserts because our government, our country, is evil (he actually used that word). This is just too much. And, ironically, this comes from a Brit, who, if we Americans hadn't stepped up to the plate, would probably be speaking German or Russian today.
