I don't regard it as a slam to quote from her dictionary. I agreed with her post. Do you?

I accept the statements by all Americans who have commented on the matter that humiliated is not what they felt. That is quite easy do do since humiliation would not be the first reaction by norma, civilized people to a terrorist outrage.

Americans were not humiliated but was *America* humiliated, that's another question. But I don't think we can get a definite answer to that, since its obviously very emotional issue to many people here, and even the definitions for the word are somewhat unclear. However, I see no point in discussing of it any further.

Of course I wouldn't be able either, since tomorrow marks the beginning of my "computer-free" summer, and only participation I'm gonna have in here or in TEUNC is what I can sneak by at work, when nobody is watching. :-)
