I absolutely agree that there is a lot of high-level posturing to encourage people to perceive themselves and America as a whole as The Victim, and not The Aggressor. We didn't cause any of this! They just up and bombed us! It was an unprovoked attack! Froth!

On the other hand, I repeat that what happened did cause very real trauma. I think you can be angry about the manipulation of the media and the popular consciousness without dismissing the trauma that's all too apparent in many circles. That's all.
