It doesn't seem like you followed the point of that article if you think we need a new thread. See, this is just one of many op-eds trying to spell it out for people like yourself who can't seem to grasp (or refuse to acknowledge) what's even going on in the bigger picture. You prefer to believe the United States is more of a threat and danger. I can't reprogram you. I can't force you to grasp why this topic reaches beyond the United States policy past and present or why your reflexive mindset actually panders to the whole America as Florence Nightengale running the world idea that you despise.
Anyway, if your response is any indication, articles like these will just fall on deaf ears. If you'd like to have an honest discussion about the root cause of everything mentioned in this article, along with the political, cultural and ideological causes, then I think you personally would have to remove the United States from the equation temporarily. There's no tow the line here, Max. This article calls on you to give a basic response and just call a spade a spade.... and don't cheapen it by trying to bring the topic back around to Bush and bad America.
