Your comment reminds me of Laura Bush quoting the four-year-old in Pennsylvania who didn't understand why the terrorists were blowing up Americans, and said that maybe we should just tell them our names. Does this not perfectly exemplify the American value on life, when a four-year-old sees this as a way to get people to stop killing our citizens? If she grasps at age four the intrinsic value of one human life, then she is grasping the basic value of America. It also puts in the starkest contrast the difference between the USA and the twisted mindset of the terrorists, because the value we put on human life is meaningless to them.
Thats a wondeful example. Very touching. Notice she's pre-school aged. Not yet addled by the public school system.
