9-11, give me a break.

9-11, Never Forget?

Here is my spin, and you can hate me all you want for it.

America the great imposes itself on countries that have been around longer than America, and it is surprised when a retaliation happens due to what we are wrongfully doing to other countries; i.e., those unspeakable acts that cannot be disclosed to the public due to national security.
Therefore, I will forget what happened on 9-11.

It does not make me less American. It actually makes me more of an American for having the gumption to stand up to the government.

So you're an apologist for murderers.

I didn't read him that way. Explaining is not excusing. Having lived in Iran before and then through the 1978 Revolution, having learnt about the 1953 CIA-sponsored coup that returned the Shah to autocracy, I can understand why many Iranians hate us -- even as I reject the terrorism they turned to as a result.

Know thy enemy is good advice. Seeking to understand his motivations doesn't make one an apologist.
