The fact that political, social 'Freedom' causes other less-free societies around the world to want to defend there own belief system and espouse others opposite it, isnt surprising. Who wants to be told they are wrong? Who wants to be stood up and shown that what we believe in leads to stagnation, while what others believe in leads to growth and prosperity? Especially if there own god is also telling them what they believe is right, and what those others are doing is not only wrong, but subject to violent refutation?
One has to wonder who is right and who is wrong when one sees, for instance, people from around the world coming to the U.S. to get the best education money can buy, foreign governments sending their own military and intelligence services here to be trained to the highest standards and latest specs, financial investment pouring in, medical standards and practices the most advanced in the world, the diversity and depth of the arts and humanities...
The day is still young though, and history may prove the US to be an experiment gone wrong. But, still, nobody likes to be told they are wrong.
My 0.02 cents.
