Who hates America
+ de 3500 Acessos
Só para constar: este trecho vem do editorial da revista "The New Republic" de 24 de setembro de 2001. É a revista mais direta e lúcida do mundo - e política é a sua especialidade. Claro: não está disponível em nenhuma banca brasileira, mas isso não faz diferença. Internet é pra isso mesmo. Olha só:
"The spectacle of American happiness provoked opposite reactions in the suffering regions of the world. Briefly, it provoked a love of America and a hatred of America. There were many who wanted an American happiness for themselves and their children, and they did what they could do to gain it. But there were many who chose to condemn what they could not attain--whose envy of America curdled into resentment, and whose resentment curdled into an analysis that made America responsible for the non-American conditions of their lives, and whose analysis curdled into ideologies of "resistance" against the symbols and the interests and the allies of the United States.
Anybody who hates modernity hates America. Anybody who hates freedom hates America. Anybody who hates privacy hates America. Anybody who hates human rights hates America. Anybody who hates ballots and bookshops and newspapers and televisions and computers and theaters and bars and the sight of a woman smiling at a man hates America."
Perfeito - principalmente a última frase. Parece até que eles frequentam nossas universidades. Mas só pra completar, de minha parte:
Anybody who hates shower hates America.
