It is this record of unabashed national egotism and arrogance that drives anti-Americanism among swaths of the world's population, for whom there is little democracy in the current distribution of global wealth and power. If it turns out that Tuesday's attacks were the work of Osama bin Laden's supporters, the sense that the Americans are once again reaping a dragons' teeth harvest they themselves sowed will be overwhelming.

Yes, I think. I think you and this author are enemies of America. You are scum if you think for one second that the US or Americans deserved this.

Somebody, somewhere, obviously thought that the US was deserving of this, and far more.

The United States' foreign policies have ticked a lot of people off, including a fair number of Freepers. Anti-American terrorists don't go to the effort of training their people to fly planes full of Americans into large American landmarks just for the fun of it. They do it for a reason. If that reason is our support of Israel, they may be disappointed by our lack of a change in policy in response to their killings. But there may be other policies in place that deserve serious review if we're going to avoid seeing other American landmarks destroyed and other Americans killed.
