Well I realize that we get wound up by the press, but that's pretty much my point, we are reacting differently to this and we should be asking ourselves why, and, more to the point, realizing that the most destructive thing is not the killing but our reaction to them.
Who did more harm to the US in the end, 9/11 or the Americans themselves in their reaction to it as an event?
