Yesterday, BOTW Today cited this quote by Philip Slater on the Huffington Post:

Perhaps the reason Americans seem so comfortable about bombing and invading little countries around the world is that the United States, unlike Europe, has never experienced "collateral damage". If we had ever been bombed and invaded ourselves, had our infrastructure demolished, been subject to foreign soldiers breaking into our homes at night, seen our children slaughtered and our houses destroyed, we would be, I suspect, less gung-ho about war and less cavalier about inflicting these horrors on other people.

BOTW caustically observes, "If you take this guy at his word, he actually has never heard of Sept. 11."

Not only that, but I'd guess he's never heard of these two guys, either.
