Flame of the WestReally? Hm, you wouldn't have known about the "humble" part by listening to Americans speak. They are an arrogant bunch of bastards, though. I don't believe you for a moment when you say that American "humility" (do Americans even know that word?) existed before the World Trade Center was destroyed. It was a wake-up call that even the American government cannot protect its people, though most Americans before that would have thought that they were invulnerable. You can deny it all you wish. As for "righteous anger", spare me the holy-speak, please. --

Nonsense. It humbled the Americans and showed them that they are not invulnerable.
Well, it's interesting to know that there are Americans on your planet too. But here on Earth, we Americans were not "humbled", but rather moved to righteous anger. Our actions since have made me quite proud of my country, for the first time in a while. And guess what? All the Americans I know were aware even before Sept. 11 that we were not invulnerable. Were you?
