that almost any people from countries feuding with the US say about the same thing - that they like the American people, but dislike American policies.

And you are so right, the current mood in the US is if you criticize American policies, you are definately a "hate America" type person.

Which is even more disgusting because now it is being reported that even more abuse occurred at American controlled prisons in Iraq and other places.

Now let me make this clear, I do not wish any harm to happen to American soldiers, but two recent stories speak volumes about the policies of the US Govt.

The first is about how a group of soldiers will not face charges over the deaths of Iraqi prisoners, while soliders who partaked in mudwrestling are going to be disciplined and prosecuted.

Now what does that say to the rest of the world?
