Prior to 9-11, what was the political will in this country? Was there the political will, in your opinion, for a more aggressive response to these attacks than there was?

And do you think these attacks just came out of the blue, that the US hadn't done things over there to provoke people?

And do you really, really believe that the US is ALL GOOD, and those who disagree with us are ALL EVIL, as does your President?

And last, when there is a report of an undercover nefarious activity on the part of the US, are you one of the people who say that the US should be doing those things? And then do you forget them. Actions such as overthrowing the government of Iran and installing the Shah, creating the SAVAK, and teaching them how to torture. Do you think that people forget those easily? And then say they "hate freedom", or "hate democracy", not that they are angry with the US?

Nope. America is a player, not an innocent victim. America has no more right to complain than a football player such as Bill Romanoski would if he were blindsided. Goes with the territory. (The citizens who are victims, however, are victims and their losses are tragic.)

Arf (They'll grow up, Bow. Don't you believe it.)
