America the Beautiful: What we're fighting for.by Dinesh D' Souza. I really enjoyed reading this selection. I had to agree with many points that the author made. I was interested to think on the flip side that many other countries hate America partly because we are so good and they are jealous of our freedom and other values.
I really that it was sad think that people are dying to damage the US. There is something that is very wrong with that. Something that i found interesting was that Islamic critics say, "America appeals to what is most degraded about human nature; by contrast islamic societies may be poor and backward but they atleast aspire to virtue. Even if they fall short they are tying to live by God's law." and Americans have a hard time answering back to this.
It is intersting to find the great differences that we have between countires. Hopefull these problems will resolve.. (highly unlikely).. How many things have to go wrong before maybe something will go right? Who knows but i guess its worth a shot i mean hey we are fighting for our country hopefully others (lesser) countries will be able to do the same.

We are all striving to be the best Nation. Unfortunately not all of us agree on how to be that. It is sad, like you stated, to see that some people are willing to die to harm another country. Do think that maybe they see us fighting and dying and feel sad because we are dying to hurt them in their eyes? I wonder if that could be one of the reasons they hate us, because we interfere too much sometimes.
