But seriously, let's all try and remember, the 19 muslims who died on that day, and the sacrifice they made for their chosen God.
Let us not forget, everyone has a chosen god; and some number of adherents to every religion are willing to inflict crimes against those they consider "infidels". Atheists are not the least bit exempt from this devotion to a chosen "god" and the despicable behavior possible because of it. Additionally, liberal atheists seem to be largely immune to any obligations to do good to their fellow men that theist religions can impose on their adherents.
I'm not sure what is more disgusting, the hatred of religion and those of faith, or those who seem to hate their nation so much as to blame the USA for every bad thing that happens in the world.
It seems some here would have us believe that when Arabs/Muslims, Japanese, or others lash out, it is fully justified in reaction to the evil and unprovoked imperialism of the USA. They seem to forget that the same Imperial Japanese that attacked Pearl Harbor had been raping and looting in China and Korea for a full generation before the US got involved. In fact, in Korea, the Imperial Japanese did their level best to eradicate both language and culture. Today we find ourselves falling into the trap of using Japanese euphemisms such as "comfort women" rather than the appropriately descriptive, "sex slaves". Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy were not exactly paragons of virtue either.
It seems clear to me that the liberal FDR manipulated the American people into entering a war where they were desperately needed, but did not want to be involved. It was a war quite literally between the forces of darkest evil the world and decent civilization. The Cold War that followed was, again, a conflict between those who enslave humanity and those sought freedom. That the USA and our allies made some mistakes and missteps in opposing Soviet/Communist expansion while simultaneously avoiding full-out nuclear war, seems lost on some folks whose only view of their own nation is to see all the evil and none of the good.
Those who can find no good in our nation, might consider on the many alternatives. I hear homosexual men are treated rather harshly in most Arabic nations.
I sincerely hope a few vocal anarchists and whiny liberals on this site do not represent the general feelings of gun owners toward our great nation.
