What a silly whitewash.
There is a pattern of the govt. cranking up patriotism and blinding people to the issues within their country and the issues with foreign politics. A People'e History of the United States is a pretty good book which covers this tactic used time and again. There is another book which is written by a Christian Arab (Lebanese I believe) which documents all movies in America from the beginning of the film industry with an Arab character and there are of course thousands of them. He only found about 4 semi-suitable characters. It is not a problem to make someone a villain in a movie unless they wind up always the villain. Until recently we used this same thing when we dealt with Vietnamese not to mention our known use of propaganda against them as well as Russians French and Germans in the past when it suited our cause. Even years later I had a good friend who brought an East Asian girl hom and his mom was still shaken by the propaganda from years prior and wasnt comfortable with her or any East Asian Vietnamese or not although she'd not had any personal loss from them. We talk about how we are a melting pot and being the daughter of a retired air force serviceman I have traveled and can say without a doubt people mix more in Europe and Asia and the Mideast and even in Canada. They try to learn of other cultures and people and are not threatened by such prospects as we are trained to do here from an early age. There is a book on that called A Culture of Fear I believe. You should consider reading about the situation before deciding to open your mouth. "Better to remain silent and appear a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." -- Good advice for you I'm sure.

Another interesting side note-- For a number of years in a row the number one 'terrorist' continent is South America. (Determined by number of attacks on American structures within or without a given country) The second is Africa and some of the countries which top the list are not Muslim countries but rather Christian ones.

Are you actually replying with serious debate to a post that is obviously written not for serious debate?

I'm having a hard time believing that you've mastered that level of subtlety in irony given the overarching nature of your comments.

Basically, you look the fool, Stacey, dear. Do hush up.
