I dunno man, hard to call a lot of it hate when so many were singing the praises of the U.S. on all dimensions just two short years ago. There are many that react emotionally to US government policy, but there is far too much fluctuation in opinion to qualify as true hate. If anything, the large group of people that US-bash and use the term "sheep"........ are the sheep.

I think what will happen is that all of the smart and reasonable people will work together closer than ever. As far as those that use terms in political debate such as "al gore invented the internet", and "george bush is a stupid chimp", and " oil oil tailpipe halliburton smokestack", they will remain as ineffectual as ever. No quantity of shallow thought can override the true innovators of the world.
