"There are Arabs who hate America, a lot of them, but this is too much,” Mr. Abbas said as he fidgeted with his cellphone. “And look at what happened after this — the Americans invaded two Muslim countries. They used 9/11 as an excuse and went to Iraq. They killed Saddam, tortured people. How can you trust them?”

It is hard to imagine anyone would hate America. Living here, I don't see the atrocities we are accused of. But, I don't think we need to assault the world and claim 9/11 as a reason.
We are immature children(only 200+ years old) in an adult world and we are being the aggressors. Freedom is a relatively new idea and not every nation subscribes to our imposed mandates. We may be right, we may be wrong but there is definately a failure to communicate.
Rumors have the ability to inhibit even the best ideas.

“I don't believe in 'My country right or wrong'. My country wrong needs my help.”
