No they'll just become your enemies. Maybe you don't give a flying fuck 
about being from a country hated by the rest of the world, but hopefully 
some people in this country do.
If Americans give up more personal freedom to the State, as has arguably 
happened in recent developments, and chose to see the rest of the world, the 
"foreigners" as their enemies, well not only is this scary as hell coming 
from the world's military and economic leader (and not say North Korea), a 
bad flashback from the 20th century enhanced by recent technological and 
military breakthrough, but it paves a golden road for people defending/ 
finding truth in ideas such as those broadcasted by Al Qaeda.
Now I assume you were being provocative, heated by the thrill of a usenet 
discussion and don't really back a "fuck the rest of the world" attitude.
