All of my life everyone has said that - so why don't we make it happen?!

Not justified but deserved in the sense that we have been so "bad" to the
world that it's no wonder that it happened.  Kate, articles were posted,
people made comments to this extent.  You can go read the foreign press
everyday with the same sentiments.  There was just a news report of a poll
in Canada which said 80% thought the U.S's actions led to the attack.  Some
Canadians have come out on the news shows and said this poll does not
reflect the opinion of most Canadians, but this bashing is out there.

Maybe this is where I just shut off.  I don't think most of the anger is
justified.  I have written many times here before why I don't think it is
justified.  I think most of the hatred of us is whipped up and not based in
reality.  I don't want to drone on again about it.  I think the U.S. needs
some really good P.R. agents to get the word out of how much GOOD we do for
the world.
