San Francisco jet fly-by 'too much like September 11'

[Sprucegoose]

Which merely serves to demonstrate that American's are paralyzed with fear every time something vaguely out-of-the-ordinary happens.

Americans feel quite at home with "machines of death" - their entire society is militarized, just in case you haven't noticed. This has led to their inability to understand that it is their aggression and interference in world affairs that caused 9/11 in the first place, rather than it being perpetrated by people who envy their "freedom".

Well said.

I know 9/11 was horrible -- but it is 10 years later now. I think Americans have to stop clinging to the fear. Then again, perhaps I shouldn't judge; I wasn't there when it happened...
