I don't care, I am not American and what the US does tends to affect the rest of the world. Is English not your first language? We seem to be having some trouble communicating with each other. You correctly stated that US foreign policy affects the rest of the world, so I would think that as a non-American, you would especially care. Earlier, you said that you were anti-military and anti-military behavior. What do you think would happen if the US decided to close every military base, bring home all the troops and all the Navy ships, and just leave the world to fend for itself? Would that be an improvement, in your opinion, since everything we do is wrong? People like you do make me want the US to go back to isolationism. You think we're the evil empire who do nothing right, and the world would be better off without us. It would be interesting to see what would happen if you got your wish. Unfortunately, if we did that, then I'm quite certain it would result in World War 3, with Russia and China carving up the planet like a Thanksgiving turkey. The sad thing is that the we spend so much money trying to police the world, and instead of gratitude, we mostly just get scorn and derision. Maybe we are fools... Fend itself from what?  I think you just buy into all the s<>t the US military and government shovels. They are no better than China and Russia in this sense and don't get a free pass just for being American.

It happened on a Tuesday morning too. 9/11/01. ( I can think of several more horrifying events than that. 22 March 2003, the destruction of Iraq by the US in revenge for 9/11 July 2006, 800,000 people ordered to leave Southern Lebanon because in 48 hours it became a free fire zone where over 1,000 people were killed by a marauding army. 26 Cecember 2004 when a tsunami killed 250,000 people in Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka Be careful about answering this thread as if the OP really means what she says in the thread title. I challenged her on this and got called all manner of unpleasant vitriolic epithets. Apparently if you read her mind (?) it is merely a 9/11 tribute thread , so don't be so disrespectful of the victims of 9/11. |

It isn't disrespectful of the victims of 9/11 to be disrespectful of the Americans who used it as an excuse to exact revenge by killing many more people who had nothing to do with the attack. |

Many Americans are blindsided though and like many attitudes that side with the military— and this goes for any country—they are killing for a just cause and it becomes acceptable. Talk about hypocritical and dense double standards. |
