If you think we did this to ourselves, you should travel more. Go where people can tell you from the heart how they despise American culture, then see if you can still convince yourself that 9/11 was the product of America turning on itself. It took me one short trip to Iran to get a reality check on where we stand in some other people's eyes.  It's not something you get by watching CNN or reading up on jihadists.  You have to go and see for yourself.
