IF you are mystified about the depth of resentment that many people in the countries that are predominantly Msulim have against the United States, here is a link which explains it in detail.

One of the things it brings home, always good to remember, is that people respond to "perceived truth", not to "ground truth".

The loss of a loved one can well up and become one's whole impression of the country that is assumed to be responsible, whether accurately or not.
