It is unAmerican to try and undermine this country, and the people of this country, during a tragic and murderous attack by subhuman terrorists. All Americans need to question the motives of those that would try to sabotage America's efforts to defend itself and the free world.

America is going thru a difficult time, and will be for quite a while. We "Americans" need to stick together and face our morally corrupt enemies as a united people.

Besides that, it is inhuman and totally uncaring to be insulting of our country while many bodies are still trapped under the rubble of the WTC.

FLY THE AMERICAN FLAG, AND FLY IT PROUDLY!!!

"Questioning" our government is not unAmerican. Throwing mindless and unsupported accusations and insults at America, after we have suffered a devastating and murderous attack by America's enemies, is unAmerican!

Sure, we all "question" our government. I've been unhappy that we are against Israel taking back some of it's territories from the Palestines. The Palestines pledged peace in return for Israel handing over some of it's territory. The Palestines, by murdering innocent children in Israel have clearly broken their word in the peace treaty. The treaty should be null and void.

But, during these days, I will refrain from questioning and will proudly fly the flag, and mourn the victims and their families!

George,

It's the job our our nation's military, and CIA to kill people and break things. They do this at all costs to sustain our freedom. The fact that politicism, religious intolerance and fanaticism are interwoven amongst our threads of military action does not have to mean that our own political ideology is to blame for the barbaric, inhuman and terroristic murder of innocent people.

A second point that I would like to make is that our military doctrine is that of meeting military targets militarily. Although, one can argue training guerilla fighters perhaps leads to an encompassing war upon innocent civilians, it is the perpetrators of those actions who are to blame. To discuss each component of our support to these friends-cum-enemies would be too long to discuss. But the point is that as a people they are the current aggressor towards our freedom. I have no qualms about what our government has done.

Militarily, we may have created a mess. Now it's time to clean it up.

I guess in the old days, it was a matter of individuals trying to survive and as the number of people grew, politics came into the picture.
