We may make mistakes, but by and large, we are a good and generous people. What other country has spent billions to rebuild a country who attacked us one Sunday morning in 1941? We did the same for Germany and saved Europe from Hitler's domination. We've spent countless millions everytime a country has an earthquake or flood. Our citizens go the world over to aid people in trouble. Hell we even send our dogs. Dedicated scientists work for cures to help all of mankind. Dear Little Janet, what would you expect us to do after 9/11? Go blithely along our way with no retaliation, and just wait for the next onslaught? My Country & your Country(probably) are in fight to save civilization-whether you know it or not! Grow up.
