Fifi, You never need to apologize for or remove anything that you wish to express.

I am certainly not angry, I appreciate your honesty and your feelings. I know many Americans who trash-talk their country, and it makes me really angry, even though I know that it is more about what they have learned is an acceptable way to express dissatisfaction than that they really believe all the bad things that they say. While I live in Israel, I am still an American citizen and I am very clear on how lucky I was to be born and reared there. it is a wonderful country and there is so much that is *Right* about it. I don't mean politically right, either. *grin* I was thinking today about how sad it is that so many people in the U.S. have already forgotten or put aside what it was like when the Sept. 11 attacks happened. I know I will never forget that day. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Fifi, your entry brought tears to my eyes. First, I agree with everything you said. Maybe not 100%, but close enough. That you said it from the goodness of your heart, sharing the hurt of an injured nation affected me deeply, and I thank you for your words. For me, this will always be a day of mourning and one that I will never forget. I appreciate your open and non-judgmental spirit as well as your sensitive words. :)

And, Fifi, I don't really know you, but it's my opinion that you will definitely be remembered as one who participated and LOVED without reservation. :)

I don't see why anyone would be angry about what you said. I agree with pretty much all of it. I think it was well said.

Aw, thank you, you guys. I can't even tell you how scared I was to speak up. I have lost readers over far less. XO!

Of course we are not angry about what you said! I don't agree with everything but every human has his own idea on this world and when you live in another country like me, you see things different. But anyway, 9/11 was bad, very bad and it may never ever happen again...
