Roger Pulvers is totally wrong regarding his basic assumptions that the "American people" share responsibility for what happened on 9/11. The fact is there is a substantial number of us who year in and year out disagree with U.S. administrations, whether Democratic or Republican.

We have disagreed with the one-sided American policy of supplying arms to Israel as well as the war in Iraq -- the first time and the second time. We disagree with many other things that pass as "American" policy. We, however, are a minority and the majority rules. We disagree with an activist program of American military intervention anywhere on the global simply because we have the financial and otherwise support network to be able to do so.

Anybody who reads American newspapers knows we exist and that we are not going anywhere. We the minority have learned to live with the militarist majority because they have a right to their opinions as well.
