Saying that the entire Arab world hates us is a vast generalization...do you think that the Kuwati Royal family is anti-American?
Osama Bin Laden would like nothing more than the declaration of a "crusade" against Islamic society by the US government. Framing the issue as an intractable battle between cultures only strengthens the arguments of radical Muslims.

Active duty? No
Retired Marine with over 22 years yes, my understanding of being the protector is still quite vivid, but at this moment I am also one of the protected.
And I thank those who are doing the protecting every chance I get.
The reason I brought up protecting was because biznatch was spouting off about freedom not being free, and also he mentioned the Arab world hates us because of our looking out for our own interests.
And Bin Laden has already called a war between Islam and the west.
