Non-Americans love to make stereotypes about American culture based on what they see in movies or in the media. The reality can be quite different. People are just people, no matter where they're from. We're all individuals, and making broad stereotypes about any group of people is wrong. JMO.
I'm not so sure what you mean by this. What does being a woman have to do with not feeling fear or paranoia?
This is what you stated earlier:
You have made a sweeping generalization yourself here, by claiming 'every' and while I agree that people are just people, please explain how life has never been the same since for 'every' American. Most will just move on with their lives, without the feeling of insecurity every time they visit an airport. How is that a way to live ones life. There are millions of overseas tourists that pass through the States every year. Do they feel the same sense of fear and paranoia that Americans do? They are on the same soil.
...That said, 9/11 hit every American very hard, because we saw it play out in real time, in our own backyard, and life has never really been the same since then...
America is perhaps the most violent country in the world and that includes those that aren't considered from the West. Is it at all surprising that an event like 9/11 ended up taking place? It is ok for the US to invade other countries with their phony propaganda and self-serving agendas and still claim due provocation, yet when something happens on their own soil, it becomes undignified. What is the diff?
