true.  but given the history of what the US has done, it makes you stop
and wonder exactly what they are capable of.  they don't appear to have
high moral boundaries.

i was watching newsnight (last night i think) and they had a report
about how American's had been effected by September the 11th.  a lot of
them are now questioning why so much of the world hates the US.  it was
quite shocking to witness some 'baseball jocks' questioning what effect
the US was having on the rest of the world.  looks like the US is
finally beginning to see that there is a world outside America, and not
everything is as rosey as back home.
