"The Americans are poor haters in international affairs because
of their innate feeling of superiority over all foreigners. An
American's hatred for a fellow American...is far more virulent
than any antipathy he can work up against foreigners...Should
Americans begin to hate foreigners wholeheartedly, it will be
an indication that they have lost confidence in their own way
of life."

When I read this, I recalled all the attacks on "brown"
Americans after 911...We are clearly insane.
There is no other explanation.
