18. This is DU. We can take being offended. It's practically a badge of honor.

And you're not alone in your opinions. A few months ago Foreign Policy magazine had an article on the 10 events of the 20-aughts that were bigger deals than 9-11. Number one on that list was America's overreaction to 9-11. To paraphrase a certain obscene little chimpanzee, "Terrorists may shake the foundations of our buildings, but only we can destroy the foundations of our democracy."

George Bush and the criminal gang we used to call BushCo around here were the ones who started that destruction by lying us into a war and scaring many of us into hating the Rule of Law. And of course his vanity war in Iraq killed 4000 more Americans and 200,000 more Iraqis than al-Qaeda ever did.
