FaultLine, Well, we'll just have to disagree about an overall attitude problem that I see as being an issue here. Taken individually, none of our affronts rises to the level of causative for 9/11, but I meant that to be a partial list of the sort of arrogant, bullying imperial actions taken by a nation that tend to be resented by folks who don't feel that they're getting cut in on the action. To nit-pick the list as you did indicates a fine legalistic mind and failure to grasp the oeuvre that America projects to the ROW. Somehow, in my list, I figured readers would simply assume the Bin Laden drill about infidels in Saudi Arabia, our support for Israel and other supposed sins of the Great Satan. I was hoping to be a bit more creative in my list of questionable national attitudes and actions.
