"I didn't really want to say it in my original post because it was just one of the many disagreements I had with Karzai's glossover of the whole US-Afghan relationship and I did not want to veer off on a tangent."
How would this comment by you-one of five retorts you provided in your initial post-threaten to tangentialize your thread anymore than your other four mentioned disagreements?
"It is quite a lot harder for an American to find anything positive about Afghanistan because quite simply, there isn't much effort made to produce such material, so it is quite natural to expect this attitude from an American towards an Afghan."
First, why the agenda by the media against Afghanistan? For how long have we Americans been the unwitting dupes of this conspiracy to single out Afghanistan? Was it the media's objective that we actually come to "hate" all things afghan, to include the people themselves, or simply a result that exceeded their expectations of, say, indifference?
To summarize, we've been the victims/targets of a media campaign of " willful neglect" directed at Afghanistan (of all places). Our instinct, in the absence of available media information, is to "hate" Afghans? On both scores your premise reeks of projection.
"How prevalent is this negative attitude?"
"Hate" is a bit more dramatic than simply "negative" and you've not even remotely made a case for it's existance at all, much less to levels of prevalence.
"The remaining majority still wants to civilize Afghanistan but with an Iron fist and have little to no sympathy for Afghans and have an intense distaste for the Afghan mindset."
Maqsad, I put a nat'l flag in front of my moniker. You've the gall to make these claims against my fellow citizens and not enough forthright honesty to allow me to know a damn thing about you. Still, I already know that you bring a sickeningly skewed pre-conceived notion about Americans that is not substantiated by you in any remotely reasonable way.
Here's the worst part, you venomous jerk- we haven't even covered THIS little tidbit of yours yet,
"And "muslims" for that matter actually regardless of what the official denials might be."
I can't wait for more of your dissembling, mindless rationales about what we, collectively, think in a monolithic (mind you, with noted marginal outlyers to denote YOUR reasonable perspective) lock-step mindset march of Amerimania bent on spewing hatred of muslims.
Last, why the agenda by the media against Islam?
