Somehow I missed this one.
Anyway. I'm going to backtrack. While I said the prevailing opinion was "no bigge", some have pointed out that no one actually said that. I got that impression, my mistake.
However, I will say that I dissent with the prevailing opinion that as an American I shouldn't be ashamed of the bombing. I get this from numerous posts telling me to move to Europe or that I'm an idiot for thinking that.
I'll also add that it is possible to love someone and be ashamed of some of their actions. I love my daughter, but when she got in a fight in the school cafeteria, I was ashamed of her actions. See how that works?
I also dissent with the opinion that I don't love America. I expressed such love being a certified marksman in the USMC.
