This is obviously not an accusation against all of America. Either you realize this and are using emotion to distort my point or I am not explaining myself clearly. We Americans are a great, peaceful, generous and freedom loving people. We are ready to help people all over the world at the drop of a hat. We are a wealthy and talented country. But we need a good cause to get together and act decisively. Some monsters have just given us a very good cause. I am just suggesting we examine who and why and be sure before we go off and possibly do their bidding for them. You cannot be naive about the level of intrigue that goes on in foreign affairs. There are any number of players with motives who stand to gain here. Could it just be a bunch of psycho homicidal suicidal zealots? Of course! Could it be a rogue element in the CIA? Is that too far fetched? Could it be Saddam Hussein? Of course. How about a faction of the Chinese or Pakistani government? Perhaps. Sure it could any or a combination of these. I am saying it is time for the citizens of this country to look more realistically at our foreign policy, its makers and implementors to hold them accountable for acting consistently with our truly good nature as Americans. We can't be good Americans and good citizens of the world if we don't require those who act in our names to behave as we would! Alan
