Do You Hate Me Because of My Freedom?

Do you hate me because of my freedom? Thomas Bender, author of A Nation Among Nations: America’s Place in World History, sat down with Dean Lawrence R.

American arrogance has fueled great abhorrence from other nations.  Regularly, the United States pledges to listen to global concerns from other nations; instead, it cannot remain silent long enough to hear anything but itself. If Americans stop talking and listen – for just a moment - a long list of reasons for American hatred will be realized – our freedom is not on that list.
