Hey, weren't they supposed to love us? Wasn't that part of the Bush success story? It doesn't look like that right now, says the Washington Post:
Angry mobs ransacked government offices and relief agencies and clashed with police in several provinces Friday in a fourth day of growing anti-American demonstrations. The violence left at least eight people dead and raised the death toll since Wednesday to about 15, officials said.Apparently, the reason for the growing anti-American fervor relates to what happened in Guantanamo:
The demonstrations represent the most widespread expression of anti-American sentiment since U.S.-led troops ousted the Islamic Taliban militia in late 2001. They have caused growing worry for the Western-backed government of President Hamid Karzai, who is due to visit Washington later this month.
The protests were sparked by a May 9 report in Newsweek magazine that interrogators at the U. S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, had placed copies of the Koran in bathrooms and flushed one text down a toilet.Not very smart. Why is it that under the Bush administration, everything having to do with prisoners and detainees just sucks.
