Is the world so far gone into madness that the US can get away with what it pleases? Because what the US does the rest of the world follows. It is like the popular child in the playground that everyone wants to be friendly with, even to the detriment of the school.The US is the home of the drug trade, pornography, irreligion and every other ungodly practise in the world. Their dominance of negative enegy on the internet testifies to this. I am a South African who lived through a greater terror than hijacked planes landing on skyscrapers. The smell of teargas and the pain of rubber bullets I know firsthand. I was lucky. I survived and bear no animosity to those who created a system whose aim was white supremacy. Today we Africans have the vote, but are economically worse off. White supremacy has succeded. If the terrorist aim is to ensure that America loses faith in the rule of law, then they have succeded. The last superpower should champion the oppressed instead of oppressing our champions. I believe America has a role to play in world peace. The first act they should perform is to demilitarise their country. This is something that ordinary taxpaying Americans should do, as its their hard earned money. It sickens me to realise that when I support American firms (McDonalds, Nike, Microsoft etc) I am promoting their war-machine.
