“We live on an island. A giant big f - - - ing island. We don’t understand that people actually get mad at us.

A metaphor, I presume. Can't say this is untrue.

We still think of ourselves in terms of WW2. It’s not uncommon for us to say to France, ‘Hey, you’d still be speaking German if it wasn’t for us.’

Somewhat true. I see this posted here almost every day.

The problem is the world has changed, and our involvement in these tiny little places is different than it was in 1941.

Very true, and too many people refuse to understand this.

It was a lot clearer then. We were attacked.”

I assume he means by another country in 1941, as opposed to islamic terrorists from here and there. I'd have to say he is correct. It was much clearer then.

All in all, much better than the typical drivel that comes out of the hollywood elite.

Did I miss something or did 3,000 people die last year because of possible Iraqi/Al Qaeda terrorist action? (that Dan Burton's committee in the house still has found out who all was involved)

Pearl Harbor was an attack on soldiers and ships, September 11 was an attack on innocent men, women and children. We have every right to be more angry and more vicious in our response. It is not our fault we fear Saddam Hussein.
