| Final-Fan said: Well you've got me there! Still, I think the last 8 years have been polarizing which means that people very critical of another nation might be more tempted to call it an "enemy" (whether deeper examination would show that they truly believed it the (reasonable) way you define it or not) unless making a conscious effort to avoid that thinking. It's not as simple as "Oh I'm just going to disregard that type of thinking because it's the philosophy of that idiot Bush". Or am I wrong there? |
I would argue it kinda would be instinctual.
Afterall that is what got us into Iraq. Back when everyone was for it.
I think the Bush era has made people think about questions like this more rather then less.
Not to mention that support of Israel is the platform of BOTH political parties. So to disagree with Bush is to disagree with Obama.
To call Israel an enemy you would have to have a strong "third party" noncomformist view in my opinion.
In otherwords you would have to have thought about the issue a lot.
