No it is not a testament to what "Americans" believe. I see it as a calling for
sympathy and support to his ppl. America is not all "evil", there are some
Americans who believe strongly in freedom and you cannot lump them all together
for then we are no better than all the others who are biggoted and full of
hate and terrorizing the world.

I just love all the US bashing when this was the *World* trade center that was
destroyed there are more then just "Americans" that were killed. It is easy for
one to point finger and place blame, but it takes a real human being to open
their heart when some of our fellow human beings are suffering. I believe myself
that God may be punishing the US for all of it's secular actions, but of course
that is my belief.

Yes, and a lot of us here in the US continue to fight the injustices and are in
a daily struggle to make this the land of the people once again and not the
United Corporations of America.
