9-11 was horrific and amazingly effective. However, it in no way compares with having Muslim militants based in our cities, kicking down the doors of American citizens at night, driving tanks over our roads and blowing up our cities.

We don't have Muslim aircraft bombing and strafing, Muslim drones blowing up schools and hospitals, Muslim armies occupying camps and forts across out land.

Somehow we forget that.

And we've forgotten that Bush and Cheney promised we'd kick down the door of Iraq and "freedom" would sprout across the Middle East.

We've got nothing going on over here compared to what we've done.

9-11 was a provoked response, by the way, and not a spontaneous act of hatred.
