[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 1899190, member: 6146"] Yes, their quest to convert isn't anything new. But I've read little about their hate for the U.S. prior to WWII - and hell yes, they had plenty of media then. Obviously not to the extent we have now, but it was about as contrived. Our meddling in their business since we decided after the war that we would try and run world affairs is the primary reason we have problems with them; had we left them the hell alone to live in the stone age as they seemed to be comfortable, then they would be a non-factor. Well, except for probably that pesky oil they live over. We've installed leaders, helped build nations while deposing the former residents, supported one while they slaughtered the other, started organizations that ended up turning on us, and God only knows what else that we aren't told about. They don't hate us for our freedom, and while they are popularly thought to want to "kill or convert us all", I'd bet that had the U.S. not gotten their dirty mits all up in their business for the past 60 years, they'd likely just dislike us from a distance, while they warred amonst tribes, like they've done for centuries.
