If you watch the BBC World feed or the CNN world feed, you would think that all of America is on the verge of collapse and/or popular revolt. Al-Djezeera (I speak Arabic) has been merciless and has again failed to understand Americans, American thinking and the American love of "HOME". It is a misreading of appearances that has lead to actions by our enemies both abroad and dwelling within our borders in the past and I fear is taking place right now.
As Cindy noted, being on our knees in prayer is the right thing to do.
Actually, I think they understand us and our government a LOT BETTER than we do theirs.
And they are much more masterful at pushing limits.
