I'm afraid I can only refer you back to my original comment. It appears you like the people but hate the system. But don't bother responding. I'm so slow that it took me a while to realize this thread is only for certain people. I'll take me leave now....

You fell for the bait.

Part of the purpose of the post was to say that there is no honor in blindly following any 'leader's' words and that it is part of our duty as CITIZENS to look at flawed policies that work against us and to be alert to other flawed policies that will also work against our interests.

IOW, it is NOT unAmerican to hold policy makers accountable for policies that alienate certain groups and then calin ignorance or innoccence whe those groups are offended and take action.

I'm in no way condoning any action against the US. It is in the US's interests to look at all 'root-causes' and see what actions, intentional and unintentional, contribute to these atrocities.

Which had no basis in fact.
