is it unamerican to refer to gen. hayden as osama bin hayden?

quite the opposite my friend...for it is uniquely American to have the right to say such things without fear of reprisal....try to do that in any other country and quite possibly you will pay for your moment of indiscression with your life......life free or die....~~

Nope.  I don't and never did like the boy-bush; didn't like his daddy, either.\nI was acquainted with him, the boy, when I was in college at Texas Tech and his good friend was the crown-prince of Iran, son of the Shah, Reisa (mot sure about the spelling but knew him)Pahlavi.  The prince was taking flying lessons in Lubbock, TX and, his name was not Bin Laden;  it was Pahlavi.  \nThis plan to go to war with Iraq on the part of the idiot-in-chief was not started on 9/11..;  he began rallying Reps for this this long before then.  Bin Laden has nothing to do with Iraq except in his hatred of Iraqis..along with Bush.  They have much more in common that you would think!\n\nApr. 27th.. go get that idiot conservative!  Someone's got to stand up to these blathering idiots, after all!  Obviously, with the reps in congress unwilling to pass or even consider ANYTHING if proposed by a Dem or INdy, this country will continue to go to he11 in a handbasket...

None. It’s not his decision or his right, or that on anyone else's with a God complex.  He's a wealthy Saudi man who didn't fit in.  No one appointed him the representative of anyone.  The only way I could see him able to avenge anyone is the people who chose to follow him.  Most of these people I consider zealots and bigots who should be stopped (sort of like the Klu Klux Klan or the Spanish Inquisition), so I don’t see avenging their captures or deaths as a legitimate act.  I do see that some Arabs and Muslims have real reasons to be upset, but I don’t see how Bin Laden is their “avenger.”  I think that people who don't directly target civilians or support regimes like the Taliban who so grievously harm their civilians would be the best people to represent those civilians.  I also think it should be people from that group: rich Saudi men with tremendous advantages who still couldn't make a positive difference on his co-citizens' lives in his own country need not apply.

The Bin Laden family and the Bush family do have business ties... does that mean that Bush knows or has ever known osama... I don't know? But, I do find it interesting that he never talks about Bin Laden anymore and we didn't catch him, and it's just like we gave up or don't care? He killed 2,000 people on U.S. soil, what the Hell? Everyone says he's in Pakistan and Bush want's the Pakistanis to take care of it... They are doing a great job obviously.  Meanwhile, we invade a country that "MAY" attack us one day with "WMD" that they didn't even have? Let's worry about the guys that attacked us first, then worry about the guys that "MAY" attack us. \nAnd does anyone actually beleive that if we wanted to catch him and made a concerted effort that we couldn't?

No, I dont think you are wrong to be bothered.  At the very least, its extremely insensitive, at most, he is likely an American-hating person that is likely just at Yahoo Answers to bait Americans.  If he's American (or a number of other nationalities) he has the right to free speech though- but you also have the righr of free speech, which means you are more than welcome to mention your anger over his free speech.

You are sick.  You've already posted a question on 9/11 wanting to know if they deserved it, now your're saying no one likes Americans, and I see you've posted another wanting to by a gun.  Don't know who you are but some one should report you.

I think his question is "Do we remember to be respectful?". He is very right, but not only regarding the president. People hardly ever say "Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms." I got married last July and very seldom has anyone called me "Mrs". You defiantly don't hear the terms "maam" "madam" or "sir" often!

Absolutly not, just like its not right to call someone retarded or racist names. \nIts mean and hurtful to everyone involved.\nThen again you cant cure all of the idiots in the world that will still practice this behavior.

I never called CNN "UN-American," but they do have a liberal bias. I haven't seen them call the troops "heroes" but I don't think that merely calling the troops "heroes" would automatically make you a patriot either. Further, although you are not one of them, there are many liberals, and many liberal Democrats who DO dislike (hate is a very strong word) American and think that this country is fundamentally wrong and is the perpetrator of evil throughout the world. So, I think using generalizations tends to disprove a point almost every time.

Suspect the Marines are wondering the same thing.  It has become a confusing state of affairs,  You have Sutr's militia [Shias'] replacing Americans in Sutr City. slum area of the Shias. Then you have Militia running about and it's not clear who they are.  almost always just referred to as terrorist and sometimes Chias.  My conclusion has been "It's a fiasco."

Depends on who's defining  the terrorism.The forefathers of the USA were considered terrorists  by the English...

johnsheeran, why should anyone feel 'un-american' for asking a question and explaining why they asked that question. \n\nThe mentatlity that you and so many other's share by calling people 'un-american' really reflects the lack of intelligence in this country. \n\nAsking that question is probably the MOST American thing that can be done. Americans have the civil liberty of questioning their government. "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism."\n\nThe president, who may I remind you, is an employee of The People of The United States, should be questioned and expected to answer honestly why he chose to engage my country in a military conflict in Iraq.\n\nThis 'Saddam Evil Dictator/Connected to Al Qaeda' crap is so old already! We are not humanitarians so the liberation of the people of Iraq is a load of horse crap. If we were so concerned with the humanitarian issues in the world, we would be liberating many more countries. \n\nTo this day, there is still no proof that Saddam had anything to do with what happened on the 11 of September 2001. \n\nPlease, don't be a sheep to the wannabe facist regime.

To Loubean: He ain't in Afghanistan, he's in Pakistan. Where were you? Watching Faux News, probably.\n\nTo bungiebabe: Since when do we care about what other countries say? We're America, dammit! So you'd stand back and let Osama strike us again just 'cause another country is hiding them and calls invasion a "no no"? But if Clinton or another so-called "socialist" put the safety of our country before the rules, you'd call him reckless. \n\nThe Cancervative Party, none for all and all for the rich! Ain't ya proud to be an American?
