Sorry, Cloud. I admit I was totally drunk when I made that last post.

But, it's true that some Americans are quite paranoid, especially those that celebrate one of the most destructive documents ever made in the United States (ironically called the "Patriot" act) but the grand majority of us aren't towering in fear because of the world events, no.

And I don't think Cloud is implying that we celebrated the deaths of the Japanese, but rather that the majority of us didn't see it as major a tragedy as it was. I am telling you this once more, Cloud - most of us did not enjoy it. Like I said, my grandmother cried. My grandfather said that when he saw the cities (they didn't know about radiation control, then) right after the destruction it was one of the most horrifying views in his life. The people were happy because the long, bloody war was finally over, and peace and freedom could reign again (at least until the conservatives championed for McCarthy and the liberals started on their new projects like "enviornmentalism" and hippie-dom).
