They have good reason to hate us. We have good reason to hate them. Someone else has good reason to hate both of us. They do something bad, we do something badder, they do something wicked, we do something worse, they do something truly evil, we nuke them, oops they've got genetically modified smallpox...

How about a slightly different approach? We sort OUR side out, as we can do something about ourselves. Stop gobbling the world's resources, stop one sided trade 'agreements', stop exporting arms to dodgy regimes, stop propping up tyrannies, stop torturing prisoners, stop imprisonment on suspicion, stop invading and exploiting other people's lands....

And let THEM sort THEIR side out- as seemed to be happening in Iran before international posturing made liberals there look like traitors.
