We didn't dance about it. My grandmother started crying, sixty years later, about the bombs. Painting the picture of the Americans reveling in death is hardly a fair thing to do. We can debate the morality of the issue all we want, but if it was self-protection, then I have no problem with it. One thing that we cannot try to do is compare the reactions of the Americans with the atomic bomb and the reactions of the Islamo-Fascists in the Middle East. They are not even close to the same.
9-11 basicly was the same threat on a lower scale. it was showing us what they can do and will continue to do.
Funny, becuase most Americans don't feel threatened whatsoever. OK, you're right. They got us that one time. Then we went on full attack. If there is one thing I am proud of being an American it's that I won't sit idly by and fear an unknown evil as if the universe is out to get us. I was willing to fight. We, the collection of individuals known as the American people, are ready to fight.

Even if you are against America, if you really support the sort of tragedy as 9/11, then I think you should check yourself. It's probably not healthy.
