re: #87 yenta-fada

I don’t think your statement sounds like hubris. I think your statement sounds like you are very young. The mere fact that you can “accept” the idea of terrorist attacks in the U.S. is something an old lady like me finds completely foreign as an American mindset. I did not approve of the Iraq War, and in Canada, we did not enter it. However, defending North American freedoms has always come at a price in my lifetime. The fact that it is now on U.S. and Canadian soil is a black mark in my life experience.

But I’m not against any of that. What I accept, and recent history should really inform us about this, is that doing an urge to do something, anything, might have extremely negative consequences. The deaths of US troops in Iraq, not to mention tens of thousands of civilians, are a very good example of this.
