We do know why 'they' attacked us AND it was well understood long before 11 September. This country is chock full of good, informed, honest, and responsible people (who were easily subverted by Rush Limbaugh logic and ‘big dic’ propaganda). That list of ‘good’ includes those who knew why America was being attacked, who was doing it, AND who were even 'retired' for reporting that it was coming. For example, you do know who John O'Neill was and why he was there when killed? If not, then America has another serious problem (another reason why George Jr is in Washington). Do you know this common knowledge from current events?

Yes, America does have another serious problem because before you mentioned John O'Neill, I had no idea who he was. I heard of his story but it was never gone into fully.

Did you understand what makes America so great - so strong - so loved throughout the world? Do you understand how a mental midget and his cast from the dark side – how so few - have so subverted America?

I understand what makes America so great but why do we have to settle for that? After 9/11 we had every country begging us for them to help us and Bush threw that all away and the people followed Bush. "Freedom Fries", so France didn't want to fight the war in Iraq, we competely disrespect their opinion and act call them cowards. Five years later we are all saying how it was a mistake to go to Iraq. France was right, they took years of shit from us making fun of them for them to be right. Yet, we will still be willing to go back to "Freedom Fries" the next time Bill O'Reilly mentions it. That is America's problem. I appriciate what 60% of our country stands for but I want more.

Appreciate why so many aspire to be American friends when our leaders adhere to American principles (instead of running torture chambers, approved of by both George Jr and Urbane Guerilla, in Guantanamo, Poland, Bulgaria, Afghanistan, and Abu Ghriad).

I know and appriciate this even though I will admit I take a lot of it for granted. But, I don't want to settle for great in some aspects and piss poor in others. I want America to be great in all aspects and I'm trying to point out one way I see America is lacking in "greatness".

Your despair should be replaced with a wild craving for solutions – what is also called the American spirit. Solutions are known, available, and being stifled by a group of incompetent and politically extremist wackos.

It's funny how much you can learn all beginning from one bias ignorant post isn't it? Do you know of any reliable perferably unbias sites that report actual news?

We know why 'they' attack us. We even knew when it was coming. Defined here is the America spirit. Do you appreciate what that is and what subverts it?

What subverts the American spirit? Government officals that can't take the risk of admiting a mistake so they try to cover up the evidence. Americans that just accept what they hear from the evening news and don't try to sort out what is real and what isn't. Media's inability to report decent news. I think that is what you are trying to get at but I can't be sure.
