Or because we treat our citizens well, other countries are right to target and resent us. Because we have freedom, we should die at the hands of tyrants and terrorists. That's brainwashing. The inability to see that terrorists are not good guys, that they don't have justification for targeting innocents (they don't just target us, you know, you fucking moron. They target people indiscriminately. They kill their own children and women, for God's sake).
did you read what he wrote? he didnt say we should be attacked or that terrorists are nice people.

i have a question. can you be critical of someone or something, even if you love them or it? youre talking like america is purely a victim, while that doesnt seem to be the case.

take a deep breath and calm down. lets get back to an intelligent discussion instead of name calling.

“Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.” Plato

“Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other” Oscar Ameringer

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. ... The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home." James Madison
