It's Never Been About George Bush

If you repeat a lie often enough, some people begin to accept it as truth.  We have spent the last eight years hearing that the world hates us because of George W. Bush.  Well, President Bush is headed for some well-earned peace and quiet, and there's a new man in charge who was supposed to end all of the hatred for America.  Guess again.  Power Line Blog has pictures of a pro Palestinian gathering in Tehran showing Iranians walking on a picture of Barack Obama, burning a picture of Barack Obama, and generally defacing the posters.  The radical element of the Muslim faith hates us because we are free.  It really doesn't matter who the President is.  For some reason, our freedom and prosperity are seen as a threat to them.  In a sense they are a threat, because our freedom and prosperity stand in the way of the extremist Muslim goal of a one-world caliphate.  As long as we care to defend our freedom, their goal of ruling a world of Muslims will not be complete.
