WHY DO THEY HATE US?

Rice vow support for Russian rights activists
Comments come a day after missile defense talks end without agreement

MOSCOW - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told Russian human rights activists Saturday she wanted to help them build institutions to protect people from the "arbitrary power of the state."

The meeting could irk the Kremlin, which is sensitive to Western accusations it is rolling back democratic freedoms and suspects foreign governments of trying to influence the outcome of next year's presidential election.

Gathered around a table in an elegant, oval dining room at the U.S. ambassador's residence in Moscow, Rice told the eight human rights leaders she wanted to hear how their efforts to protect freedoms in Russia were progressing.

Sticking our noses into other countries sovereign business is precisely why we are in the trouble we're in.

This is the "imperialism" that all the other countries hate about the Bush administration and its foreign policy. It's a policy of interfereing with other governments' right to rule their own people.

Think of what our government would say if another government tried to interfere with our affairs!

BUSH WOULD BOMB THEM
