What I find amusing is the claim that America lost its 'innocence' on 9/11, as if we're the most clueless bunch of idiots on the planet. Somehow I'm supposed to believe that some goat herder in Bumfuq, Egypt has a better grasp on the world order than I do.
Yes, but I'm not questioning about the illiterate goat herder in Bumfuq, Egypt, I'm wondering about the muslim leadership which have remained almost entirely silent. Silence does speak volumes sometimes.
Well, that's one way to look at it.

That's why Communism survived almost a hundred years.
Ignorance and poverty does rule most of the world, so yes, they do have a firmer grasp of the "current world order".
