What bothers me is that some people seem much more willing to criticize
what the U. S. is doing than what the regime of Saddam Hussein has done.
That is where the anti-American perception comes in, at least for me. When
the same people who don't have much to say in regards to the human rights
abuse that goes on in Iraq and other countries are suddenly all over the U.
S. for going
to war with Iraq, I wonder if they really care about peace and human rights
or if
they just relish the opportunity to slam the U. S.
