<BR>Susan Sontag and other "leftist intellectuals" are not implying that the US had this coming, but she is suggesting that we take a serious look at why people are so angry. Crazies aside, the US has been responsible for some of the most corrupt and horrific third world regimes. We supported Sadam and the Teliban when they were of use to us, and they became "evil" when they weren't .
<BR>This is a "war" we cannot win,because there are no targets, no armies, no opposition to "surrender", just other guys to come along and hurt people.
<BR>I ask Krautheimer and everyone to UNDERSTAND not condone, forgive or even accept, the anger of the so-called terrorists. His editorial is not worthy of a serious journalist.
