Sam, I think the Prof. is trying to point out the fact that this is not even close to try and pick out America\'s faults, as alot of people are wont to do. Its like kicking your mom after she just got knocked down at the supermarket.
We can\'t have this kind of attitude right now, as some posters are suggesting that Americans deserved what they got. We need solidarity.
On the other hand, I can totally see your point. I myself have fallen victim of the press this morning when I quoted a news source on those other potential terrorists. Also, you must always gather information, I\'m a big supporter of that. Educate yourself at all times.
That being said, no matter how much education I get on the background that set the stage here, I will never lose my betrayed and angry feelings when thinking of this event.
