i've always wondered this, if you hate this country so damn much (burning the flag, etc) then get the hell out of here!
still waiting for the day when the reporter and/or the cameraman while filming this crap ask the question " if you hate this country, it's flag and what it stands for, then why are you here? why don't you go back to your own great country?"
in regard to the whole situation going on now, so are the american public who watch tv, whether network or cable, whether right or left leaning politically when we see people in muslim countries burning our flag and protesting and shouting crap about our country,.... are we actually now supposed to assume that these people in the streets we see doing this shit, are actually 0.001 percent of how muslims feel about the u.s.? that the other 99 percent of muslims that live in those countries DO NOT FEEL THIS WAY AND HATE US?
that it's irresponsible journalism that shows these people who are actually radicals and nutjobs doing this crap?
the american public sees this stuff almost daily on television, so the vast majority assume that ALL muslims in these countries ( pakistan, afghanistan, iran, iraq, etc) feel this way about our country.
consequently, we all think their NUTS and EVIL, and thus we think " so they can do anything to our government to our religions but we can't do anything to them? that is truly hypocritical, insanity, and so on."
