Contrary to the what some people seem to believe, American society is one of the most tolerant societies on the planet. 99% of the people here are
good-hearted, hard-working, honest people who welcome people from all over the world into their neighborhoods, homes, schools, and businesses.
That's the story, but I've lived here for 5 decades and I find most Americans to be xenophobic and intolerant.
Like everywhere else there are some bad people here, but overall, this is one of the most open-minded and accepting societies in the history of the
planet. The people of America have fought to end slavery and oppression of minorities, and continue to fight for human rights not just in our own
country, but all over the world.
It sounds like you're reading from a text book. America was borne of slavery and genocide, and we have fought racist wars for 200 years to keep those
institutions.
Is there another country on this planet that has GIVEN more money to foreign countries than America? Are there any other countries who have sacrificed
more of their own people fighting on foreign soil to help ordinary people live in freedom?
Now I know you're spouting nonsense. Per capita, and per national income we're mostly near dead last.

How much of that foreign aid went to Israel?
“Since the October War in 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of support dwarfing the amounts provided to any other state. It has
been the largest annual recipient of direct U.S. economic and military assistance since 1976 and the largest total recipient since World War ll. Total
direct U.S. aid to Israel amounts to well over $140 billion in 2003 dollars. Israel receives about $3 billion in direct foreign assistance each year,
which is roughly one-fifth of America's entire foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a direct subsidy worth
about $500 per year. This largesse is especially striking when one realizes that Israel is now a wealthy industrial state with a per capita income
roughly equal to South Korea or Spain.”

So to say that American society deserved 9/11 is more than just pathetically misguided
I think we all have the government we deserve. Since most Americans can't recognize their government as the true enemy to world peace, and since our
government was beind 911, then I guess we did deserve it. Its the people of Pipelineistan, Iraq, Libya, Iran, etc. who didn't deserve it.
Just a reminder, people are risking their lives everyday to get INTO America, not out of it.
Suckers who bought the propaganda. Like the OP.
So maybe the ultimate conspiracy of 9/11 was to start a global propaganda campaign against the U.S., and to undermine the U.S.'s position of
leadership in geopolitical affairs. Wouldn't this fit in with the globalists' agenda?
With 700 plus military bases around the world, I think the US's credibility is undermined by our own actions. "Leadership" in war, plunder and
Imperialism, sure, but the global "propaganda" campaign you describe is simply the Internet providing a voice to the victims of US agression. The
perspective of the victims has historically never been so audible before. It makes us uncomfortable to hear their screams.
