<<< Almost all Americans feel no sense of common humanity or common interests, with Jose Padilla. Or surrendered Taliban prisoners. Or Iraqi civilians. Or any non-Americans.

But this is a very impractical attitude. It has some severely negative consequences, for ourselves. The reason is, when we treat Others like their lives and liberty are meaningless to us, the natural consequence is......they reciprocate.>>>>

You state that as a problem for Americans?
Its minor compared with the Afghan tribes or
the family-oriented Iraqis who mistrust all others.
Where do you stand on "family values"?
Relegated to history perhaps.
There are so many exceptions to your statement it is not worth the time to list them all.
Do we "know" any of the Iranian earthquake or Honduras mud slide victims. How many church groups are engaged in supporting unknown victims , etc, etc,etc,
