Along with a previous 'spouter,' I too wonder "just when did we Americans, in general, become so wimpy?" We are afraid to speak the truth if it might hurt someone's feelings; we are afraid to take any risks and refuse to stand up for what we believe to be ethically or morally correct. We let foreign governments and terrorists bully us. It is hard to believe that we are the same people who tamed a wild continent and won two world wars. Let's save America.
