as I started reading the article and growing increasingly angry, I was reminded of one of my first reactions to the WTC attack. Why?

I wanted to understand what was behind the hatred of that incomprehensible act unfolding before my eyes. Soon after, that question became very unpopular.

Sure Europe and the rest of the world owe the U.S. for fighting and dying for them in the world wars. I think they may have forgotten. How long can we keep reminding them without appearing like an elderly man shaking his cane at the youth that torment him?

Raoul’s article presented a view of our country contrary to our own. I think its important to listen to these views and at least try to look at what we have done to propagate them and also why our friend finds it funny.
