lol, at "American ideals". And before you go all crazy again - it's not that American ideals are laughable, it's just laughable to assume you're the only one that has them (and so people that share them might just be happy about someone that attacks them being killed).

Great. You automatically excluded yourself from my earlier comment. And don't you think it also affected people that don't happen to share your citizenship? I guarantee you that my life was made more miserable from the 9/11 attacks than the average mid-westerner who isn't connected to the military.

You don't read so well. I never said that.

Edit: I'm done with this argument anyway. This is for stupid facebook statuses, not stupid internet arguments.
