I am sad (but not surprised) to hear from another "progressive Liberal" (Socialist) declare that because we in America have more than those in other countries, have only ourselves to blame for all of the bad in this world.
No matter how much you try to be "understanding" or sympithetic to peole who hate, you can not "love them out" of their desire to harm others. Our only defence is to prrotect our own and try to educate the masss on the benifits of freedom and capitalism, the two reasons we are a thriving, productive society today.
The day that your socialistic beliefs are adopted by a majority of America, is the day the terrorists will take over.
