NP - Fighting the Forces of Invisibility

[David Morris]

I do get a little hot sometimes, and like many of (US) Irish descent, I 
enjoy a good fight now and then.  What really got me was the recent on-list 
argument that practical US M.E. policy has been at least as (actually more) 
evil than what was displayed by the WTC attack.  That crossed over into the 
"you deserved it" camp.

Being the only remaining superpower (it really is strange to think of one's 
country as such) puts the US in a very difficult position, but those that 
criticize with such zeal should honestly answer whether it would have been 
better for the world had the US walked way from the cold war, because 
essentially we ARE experiencing "blowback" from that war.  And by this 
question I seek only a balance in weighing US guilt in what were (and are) 
numerous real sins.
