It was right there in his post 9/11 address to the joint session of Congress on September 20, 2001:
Americans are asking "Why do they hate us?"
They hate what they see right here in this chamber: a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms: our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other.
I don't know why I didn't see it earlier. He's trying to make them love us.

ReplyDeleteI also like it when people use the word "infernal." You get extra points for that.
