No worries, you didn't jump, you were polite...and not condescending.
I don't have a specific theory I believe in, I just don't buy Oswald could do what he did alone. Valid point, perhaps if I was 31 when JFK was killed like I was for 911 I'd believe Oswald did it himself. Maybe 30 years from now I'll change my view on 911...or maybe 5 years after JFK I'd have heard some compelling evidence.

The world looks at them with more loathing than they did before. They have galvanized the hatred of a lot of people against them.
The next terrorist event affecting the US will have far less empathy/sympathy from the world. My personal view will be they brought it on themselves.
They have what I perceive to be a large backlash against the civil liberties they are eroding.
I will agree they have been somewhat successful in grabbing oil. I'm not so sure they've been successful in pushing Iran around.
Edit: I notice this was post 911...oh the irony.
