Searle,

"Frankly, that's what I think the "terrorism" is all about. Other people in the world also wish to be independent and free of outside (= US) interference"

They sure have a funny way of showing it.

"I can't imagine why you, or anyone else, thinks I am treading on them."

I don't! I did say that some of what I was writing was TIC (Tongue in Cheek). The intent of my response was to show that some of us here do not believe in what the government is doing, and that we may fight back if they get to pushy!

"Thank you and I'm happy to be your friend. But don't count on me to patronize you!"

I was not trying to patronize you, and I did not think that you would reciprocate if I did. I was trying to show that there are a lot of people who agree with a lot of what you say, and may not take what our government is feeding us. However, we did elect them and they are ours, so we do not like others telling us what we already know. I do not consider you an outsider, but what you are saying can get under the hide of some. I do not want or expect to be patronized, but I do expect to be listened to on occasion. I will reciprocate. I do not condemn you for what you say, but sometimes I do disagree. The right to disagree is where we started from. To all have to think alike does not bode well for the world.
