Well, it's difficult to use the word "we" to describe the US.
Remember, there's Red Nation America and Blue Nation America. Blue Nation is -- for all practical purposes -- an occupying force, a contemporary variation of the Vichy regime, which imposes its policies on Red Nation America.
Red Nation America is not suicidal. Red Nation America is not stupid. Red Nation America would never allow terrorist camps to be set up within its borders.
But Blue Nation America ALLOWS this kind of stuff because Blue Nation America is, in a very real way, AT WAR with Red Nation America. And it's a war in which Red Nation America CAN NOT FIGHT BACK because WE -- Red Nation America -- have great passion and love for America and we know that if we fight Blue Nation America, then it would amount to a civil war. (Blue Nation America doesn't care about such an issue because Blue Nation America hates America and all the values Red Nation loves.) So, the kind of horrible status quo just continues. Blue Nation America -- like cancer -- continues to dissolve away the body of America over-all. Red Nation America does what it can to live honorable and peacefully. But sooner or later SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE.

We don't even have to "want to be"....sometimes we just are.
And obviously damn proud of it -- we voted KKKlintoon in not once but TWICE! Hamas himself!
