Ivan Eland of the Independent Institute on Can America “Spin” Away Anti-U.S. Hatred in Islamic Countries?
A study group chosen by the Bush administration has just spent the public’s tax dollars reaching a conclusion worthy of Rip Van Winkle: “Hostility toward America has reached shocking levels.” And their recommendation for a remedy is to spend even more government money enhancing and revamping U.S. public relations efforts among Moslems. Unfortunately, putting lipstick on a U.S. government pig is difficult. A better solution is to do the difficult soul-searching needed for a change in U.S. policies toward the Islamic world.

There is no way you can spin away Bush bigotry and decades of terrorism and crimes against humanity by Israel toward the Palestinians and Arabs in general, all supported by the Shrub Cabal. All attempts to do so will only make it worse, which is Bush’s special talent.

The only mystery to me is why Americans don’t hate the USA. When will citizens get tired of greedy corporations running this country?
