GEORGE Cowley seems to have conveniently forgotten about the recent atrocities against America and her allies, the worst being at the World Trade Centre.

The current situation developed directly from these horrific events. The prevailing mode of hurling vitriol at America seems fashionable.

America, although a democracy, does, I agree, make mistakes, but overall tries hard to be a benign force on the world stage.
