And I don't think it's about "hating America" (at least, not for me). It's about expecting more from a Democratic and civilized country, to actually uphold it own laws and not bypass them by shipping people off to cruel and brutal dictatorships like Syria. It's wrong of Syria, sure, but it's more to be expected of them to do this kind of thing, than it is of the US.
The "axis of evil" was Iran, Iraq, North Korea. Bush never included Syria, although maybe they should be.
