The USA is NOT perfect but neither are we the SOLE blame for the worlds ills. Yes I love my country but I am not blinded to it's faults. In my life time most of it's mistakes were due to bad judgement NOT malice or evil intent.
Afghanistan is a perfect example after helping the Afghans defeat the USSR we backed off and let them have their own country. In hindsight that was a bad judgement call not evil malice. In 1979 we had 52 people take'n hostage in a fundlementalist Islamic nation (Iran) and did not want to be medling in Afghanistan's govt. We learned a lesson.
If usama wants to be pissed at us for being in Saudi Arabia He first better get pissed at the Saudi's. All of the air force bases built in the dessert were built in the early 80's with the blessings of the Saudi Royal Family. For the purpose of the USA coming in and helping defend Saudi Arabia, incase they were needed, low and behold SodamInsane and his boys do their tap-dance through Kuwait. We didn't kill the puke because of the Arab nations in the coalition.
