Hi Kate: > i love that song too & have always thought it should be our national > anthem...i think we are stuck with using america in our songs...
All of my life everyone has said that - so why don't we make it happen?! > if anyone had implied that kind of thing i would have been all over it...i > don't recall ever reading anything that remotely insinuated that the acts of > 9/11 were justified... 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. >but i do recall many discussions that talked about > why other countries are angry at the usa & that this anger is > justified 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. Kakki
