in hoc veritas non est in omnibus

I had a lot of time to think today at work, since my computer was in use by our IT department and the tech decided to go to lunch while he was working on my machine. One of the things I was thinking about is the increased hatred for Americans around the world. This was more than likely spurred on by the release of the video today of ISIL murdering another US citizen. What I started to wonder is why a group of people can hate other people so much. How can a country on the other side of the globe stir such ire in another group of people? The only conclusion I can come up with is our government is doing a lot more than we know about. Our military presence must be doing more than liberating, providing humanitarian assistance, and ensuring democracy. I'm not saying that our troops are knowingly responsible for these actions, but they (and not all of them, but perhaps covert ops and elite groups) have to be committing atrocities at the order of our government on a scale that we can't comprehend at home. Or we having to be funding/training/coercing the ones doing the atrocities and the locals know what we don't. I've seen the outrage people are directing at the jihadists for killing another US citizen, and I don't condone it and think they need to be brought to justice for it, but I think instead of "huntin' terrorists" we, the citizens of the U.S., need to demand to know why we are targeted, and start looking at the root cause and peaking under the hood of our own machine. This can't be simply because we are viewed as blasphemous and infidels in the eyes of their god. We (The U.S. government) have to be doing more in that region that we (the U.S. citizens and even the military serving in these regions) don't know about. I'm sure I could expand on this argument, and I know this is a very broad stroke I'm painting with very little detail, but it is something to consider.
