see, rude, arrogant and condescending....it's the con way of life
I saw the world lining up to fight with us until we decided to fight a war that had no merit.
I was always amazed at the arrogance of Americans and their attitude of this should never have happened HERE. Countries around the world are attacked daily by terrorists, it's a fact of life for them and has been for years, sometimes decades. We were lucky it never happened before, especially considering how lax our security was. Americans are so spoiled they don't like being bothered or delayed for safety sake. God forbid you ask to search someone's luggage, here comes some civil liberities lawyer to say you're infringing on the rights of that person, it's total bullshit.
How many countries have we stepped on? How many cultures have we insulted? and you wonder why some people weren't surprised by the attacks of 9/11? again, talk about hubris.
At least with this post you acknowledged that many weren't lined up with support. That we've been heavy handed in the past, that we've built up a wealth of animosity, I won't disagree. On the other hand to ignore what we've done for the good, well that doesn't work either.
Well today is 11/8/08. Obama will take office 1/20/09. He does what he does between now and then, sending signals, adding and deleting from his new Change site. We all can sit back and see what happens.
