Take a deep breath. Nobody is saying that America is perfect, or that we're blameless.
So the poster I quoted calling a guy a "dick" because he was correct doesn't suggest that at all?

Question about my last line.
The intolerence linked to ground zero was meaning both the intolerant extremists, and some of the intolerant extremists on the American side too. Building a place of tolerance nearby is saying "Look, we made our mistakes, extremists on both sides isn't good, let's be real here, lets spread some tolerance and good will between us, so this will never happen again".

If America wanted to send a really powerful message, build a new UN headquarters or "Beacon of Tolerance" as a new national momument right ontop of Ground Zero it self. If America was really serious about this, they instantly get +rep with me.
