You must have been hallucinating. Nobody in the government said anything
of the sort. In fact your President has gone out of his way to praise
Islam as a peaceful religion, which it most certainly is not.


But what do I know!!! I just keep my eyes open look, I wonder and I think

You also make **** up.

Take a look at they changed the travel Warning sine I was there in
September.

Hmm. The CIA beaurocracy points out some fairly obvious potential
dangers and precautions that American travellers should be aware of, and
they would be remiss in their duty not to do so. Where specifically do
you disagree? I don't think they are making a value judgement that
Beruit is a "bad place" or that "Muslims want to kill all Americans"
which are the words you used. As a pilot I think you should be able to
use such information to manage your risk in an appropriate fashion.

Also, like I said, there have been no public statements by higher
officials (such as the President or Secretary of State) that use the
language you ascribed to the government.

No big deal. You have a fairly large dose of paranoia. Everbody in the
universe has that to some extent.
