Why do terrorists really hate us?
Part perception, and part reality. On the one hand, They perceive us as a fat, lazy, decadent, hedonistic, and therefore satanic society. On the other is the reality that America is the most prosperous, most successful, most powerful, and yet, most generous nation in all of humanity, and they are jealous. Bin Laden said as much in one of his tirades, when he asked rhetorically why America should prosper, and Muslims should suffer.
