Since we're on the topic, I'm kind of curious - why would people in Europe
feel that America deserved what it got on Sept. 11th?  I get the gist of
what you're saying, not that Europeans are sadists or some such, but how
what you're describing is more of a general sense.  But why?

I've gotten the impression that a great deal of resistance to giving Saddam
the boot is not pro-Saddam, not by a long shot, but anti-American.
