    no it's not so much the war per se

    It's that the people who we wish would love us, don't. Saloniks want to be loved, yes loved by Arabs, Muslims, Persians, Marxists and criminals of all stripes. Now that they hate us (as if that's a new thing) Saloniks do what comes naturally. Blame themselves. If you hate yourself enough, the people who hate you, who you want to love you, will love you. Works every time.
