Uh NO! And don't you
DARE suggest I am saying that! For god's sake have you read anything I have written in other posts. Try the one called 'Please take a moment to read what I did today' and then go search out the one where I say that my stepdaughter has a friend who was injured and another one that is missing.
Top that all off with the fact that *I* am american. Whay the hell would I say we deserved it.
I am saying that it is our duty to know what our government is doing around the world in our name. Fact is most of us don't and sometimes they are doing very bad things. Other times they are doing very good things.
No nation is perfect and we are no exception and as we are a gov't for the people and by the people we need react when our government does do things - like back murderous dicators and turn a blind eye to genocide (and I am not making that up..it really is genocide) in non white countries.
I am proud to be an American..I would be even more proud if out of all this mess the American people took greater concern and informed themselves on our nation's forgien policy and actually voiced their opinions when they disagree with it.
I am sorry if this all too raw for you to understand what I am saying. I can understand that but don't even start to think I am in any - ANY - way saying we deserve this. I just think we need to wake up and realise there is a WHOLE world out there.
