For many people we will be hated and despised. Unfortunately they will be justified. What terrorists did was unconscionable. But we in turn have made the lie into a distorted truth. I am gravely afraid that this country will not regain it's good name in my lifetime, if ever. It doesn't make it any better that we frequently see acts almost, if not as, bad in our prisons against Our own citizens. The practice of hiring those who will take the lowest wages for the least desirable jobs has crippled our prisons, and turned offenders of minor crimes to hard core criminals. One can only imagine what might be done to those we have no vested interest in. When will we see that worshiping the all mighty dollar will only hurt us all in the end? I am reminded of the old ad with, I think, Chief Ironhorse, (it's been a long time), staring into the distance as one tear runs down his cheek.
