Two attacks. 3000 dead. Nearly 5000 days ago, and Americans are still rending their garments and crying out for endless revenge. In the last 70 years, virtually every part of the globe has been utterly destroyed at least once. Europe, flattened. Japan, flattened. Chinese cities and infrastructure? Gone. Korea? Check. Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt? Multiple times. Tiny little Gaza? I think the rubble has learned to bounce on its owns.<br /><br />So are Americans grateful and thankful that they haven't had the death, destruction, disease and displacement of war on their soil in well over a century? No - we are frightened victims, locked in an angry, armed defensive crouch, killing anyone who concerns us, monitoring every communication, entrapping anyone they can convince to put a fake bomb in their car's trunk.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the rest of the world sighs wearily at out pathetic false fear and rabid, deadly nationalism. They've lived through utter devastation, and rebuilt and started over. They remember, but they don't dwell.
