I think you misread him. He wanted to know why you thought his
criticising Bush equated to "hating the US". He then further asked
whether you thought that those *Americans* who did not vote for Bush
also hated the US (you pretty much made his point for him then with
your response). I believe his view of Bush is shared by many inside and
outside the US - I also sometimes wonder why this is immediately
equated with "hating the US". I live in South Africa, and here it is
almost fashion to criticise virtually everything our government does
(whether by individuals or through the media) - it has nothing to do
with a lack of patriotism or "hating the country". In fact I believe it
keeps the government on its toes:)
