Why do they hate US?

Why is it that we are the target or threat of violence? Why do we always have to play defense? What have we done to deserve this terrorism and extremism?

I have heard these questions and many like them and I have to say it’s very easy to answer. Why are we a target? Because we make ourselves targets. Why do we always have to play defense? Obviously you haven’t been paying attention since World War 2, we have been on an all-out, worldwide OFFENSIVE measure to conquer and reconstruct the world’s largest empire. WE have terrorized and manipulated every country in the world in some way since the conclusion of WW2. What have we done to deserve this terrorism and extremism? What have we not done? We have invaded foreign lands, assassinated their leaders and replaced them with dictators and tyrants only to turn around and overthrow them too. We have starved innocent civilians in an attempt to turn power over to ourselves. We have created and intentionally spread diseases to control and restrict the populations. We have caused blockades and regulations on trade between nations. We have subjected the citizens to ridicule and scorn. We have bombed cities and towns where innocent civilians were killed and no militant forces were found to be there. Yet we are the all-powerful America, we are the light of the earth, the most diplomatic and well behaved country ever, that was sarcasm for those not able to pick it up.  We as Americans have let our leaders put targets on our heads, there are multiple countries in the world that we as Americans just cannot go, in fear for our lives and safety because we allow the behavior of barbarians.

                What can we do but wait, well we could protest and call for an immediate withdrawal of our forces, we can overthrow our own government and establish a more peaceful government, we could not approve of these actions through a completely voluntary tax system and re-election process of our politicians. When the people of this nation realize the effects of being the world police and the destruction force of the world, we could I think move forward as human beings. We have been waging war upon our own people for generations and it has gotten us nowhere but millions of young men and women just like us to be killed and trillions upon trillions of dollars in debt.  What have we gained from this but resentment from the world population who see America as bullies and instigators?  

What can we do but educate our youth our next generation of voters and politicians. We need to instill proper values and morals; we need to rid our youth of the greed and warmongering that has plagued us. We need to educate our future generations on compassion and humanity, before humanity is wiped out altogether. We need a reemergence of personal responsibility and ethics. The bombings taking place every day in nations all over the globe, being perpetrated by our country the United States of America. We have seen from the past the results of totalitarian rule and have entered into the very midst of it again, we have seen the barbaric nature of man yet have embraced its grasp, we have seen the horrors of unfounded fears and hate, yet we as Americans do this on a daily basis. We have to reevaluate our course and alter it if able. We need to take a look at the future we want and the legacy we want to leave behind. Our very humanity rests on the shoulders of the future generation and the education and upbringing that they receive.

But have we answered why they hate US? With the blockade from food and medical services to the citizens of countries based on their government’s actions, with the usage of drone aircraft to kill entire villages, most often with no militant forces in them, with the sanctions and trade regulations, embargoes and outright refusal of goods, why would they hate US, we are the greatest country on earth right? With our history of coups and providing the opposing forces supplies and guidance, with the deception, murder, pillage, fear mongering, accusations, assassinations, betrayal, dominance, offense, and disregard for human life of all forms, why wouldn’t they hate US?  To change the society in which we live we must change the people that we live with.
