Another America Hater?

Salmon Rusdie has never been a favorite of the Moslems. This is certainly not an enemy speaking. He however has serious reservations about our current foreign policy..

What I think plays into Islamic terrorism is ... the curious ability of the current administration to unite people against it," Rushdie told Reuters in an interview.
Rushdie said he found it striking how the "colossal sympathy" the world felt for the United States after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks has been squandered so quickly.
"It seems really remarkable that the moment you leave America ... you find not just America's natural enemies, but America's natural allies talking in language more critical than I, in my life, have ever heard about the United States," he said.

Why do many of us criticize the Administration and their foreign folicy? Because we hate America? No, because we honestly believe that it is harming America and crippling our fight in the war on terror, not helping it. What patriotic American would dare be silent under those conditions?
