If a stammering senile old man befriended third-world dictators, took too much credit for the collapse of the Soviet Union, attempted to tell me what was or was not morally right, and then engage in a domestic fiscal policy that was questionable at best- then hatred might make a little sense. If a drug addict-male-cheerleader won (at best) a questionable election given by a court and then proceed to exploit a terrorist attack for the invasion of a nation that actually was at odds (!?) with said terrorist I would say that hatred is actually a rational response. . .
