So the President elected in 2000 is the reason we've been under attack since the late 70's?

I think you need to do a little more history research there jaimie. The WTC was first bombed in 93 under the Clinton admin., the planning for the 01 attacks also took place during that time period (GWB was in office only 9 months when 9/11 happened.) The USS Cole, The Kobar towers attacks, the attacks at the embassies in Africa all happened BEFORE GWB took office.

Right now the U.S. is at the top of the pile, everyone aims at the top. We are supposedly the source of the world's problems, yet who is it that everyone calls when disaster strikes their country. US. Here's a little history lesson for you.

Bombing of U.S. Embassy in Beirut, April 18, 1983:

lol mmmkay soo i am wrong. well thats why people hate the USA now though. anyway this is not the place to really discuss it lol

 

I would suggest that not everyone in the World hates the USA. As a Canadian, I like the USA and realize that our good life is linked to the USA. I also understand many of the reasons they go to war for. The problem is, once you go to war, how do you pull out (Iraq). The Middle Eastern Countries are bred to hate Americans, amongst others, and the only way they can get to the USA is infiltrate your great Country by immigrating there. I am not saying they are all terriorists, but how do you know who is. I am very concerned for my children in the future, as the crap that went on the Middle East stayed there. Now it is becoming more prevelent here.It's a shame.
