"Get's what for it?" oOo:
Well the U.S did start a war in the first place stalling the entire country, destroying alot of it and stirring up a hive of insurgents drawing them in to Iraq, not to mention the deaths of around 30,000 civillians ....the civillians still alive just generally live in fear of being blown up every day for cooperating with the coalition forces....
I mean do you think they're just going to forget all the anger because of a few tons of food and some water pumps? They blame Americans with Al Jazeera or not. They're simple people.... |
Not necessarily simple people but it's all they know. Americans live in luxury, become obese and lounge in their mansions while people in their country suffer. They come to their country with war machines and troops, level their cities and kill their families. Regardless of what the US is actually trying to accomplish if you do that to someone theyre going to hate you, it only makes sense.
