"Why do they hate us?!" A question launched by US President Bush Jr., representing the American mindset—for the most part—which found no answer other than the envy of "vanquished peoples" and their jealousy of the "American way of life"! This simplistic deduction implies a denial of nations' right to self-determination and their defense of dignity and resources against colonialism and exploitation. It also presumes acceptance of American invasion—voluntarily or involuntarily—as long as its fleets fly the banner of "spreading civilization," "human rights," and "world peace"?!

However, the most important question remains, with its various branches:

• What is the American's concept of himself? And of the other?
• From where does America derive its "destined right" to run the world?
• What is terrorism? And what is its relationship to America's interests?
• Where do Muslims and Arabs stand under the American microscope?
• What is the reason for the identification and interconnection between the United States and "Israel": from birth to interests?
• Is there a return to a "cold war" with the announcement of "BRICS"?
• Where is the American empire heading according to its current realities?

This book attempts to answer these and other questions, as much as possible, with facts, clues, and evidence.
