1. Extreme Makeover, American Idol, the Simple Life...

...Michael Jackson, Desperate Housewives, E! Entertainment News, McDonalds, Joan Rivers, The Swan... Republicans.

They are not the only ones who hate our culture.

8. Dr. Phil, Oprah, Jerry Springer, "Friends"...

And the 2 worst ones, "Survivor" and "Fear Factor"...

Oh, and "Cops", too....

"American" and "Culture" are 2 words that never should meet in the same breath...

2. What. The fuck.

What the fuck are we doing building a military base on a major archaeological site? They couldn't move it half a mile in any direction?

There's a specific reason the decision was made to build on Babylon. And it's criminal.

3. The US are winning hearts and minds all over the world.

May I join in the the throwing of flowers? - I agree that the military destroys Babylon for a reason. It's the ultimate contempt - telling the whole world "We are the mightiest". It's probably an order from the very top, too: Remember the "whore of Babylon" is destroyed in the Bible?

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

4. Huh?

"Remember the "whore of Babylon" is destroyed in the Bible?"

The Bible foretells of Anne Coulter's downfall? ... Oh wait. She's "the whore of Babylon on the Potomac." ... Never mind. My bad.:evilgrin:

5. Actually, they hate us because we are killing them.

Our "Values" and "freedoms" have nothing to do with it, the only exception being the extent to which our "values" allow us to go over there to torture and kill them. I am pretty sure that they take issue with that set of "values".

6. They hate Imperialism, we represent it. Shrub does not speak for..

Culture, he lets kkkarl do it, for him, therefore they hate us because Karl rove controls our image.

7. Sign me up for that idea!

We are a throw away society. Our economy is a pyramid scheme. Its unbelievable that our economists believe that we can continually expand the economy. The waste is incredible and the quality of goods (Walmart) is low.

9. We are there to "Liberate" them from their culture

and their wealth.

What happened to all the flower carrying welcoming demonstrations in the streets that we were promised?
