Saying "The US is the best country" is not a statement of overconfidence. I doubt you ppl know what that word really means.

overconfidence
\O"ver*con"fi*dence\, n. 1) Excessive confidence; too great reliance or trust: 2) total certainty or greater certainty that circumstances warrant [syn: certitude, cocksureness]

Now, as far as you saying that "overconfidence" is what caused 9/11 does not make sense.

"We have no idea that they were gonna attack us" is not overconfidence. And example of what IS overconfidence is:

"Sure, they SAY they're gonna attack us, but they're really not. They don't have the balls."

THAT is overconfidence. And THAT was never said, because we had no forewarning.

And once again, I said WERE not meddling, DID NOT have hidden agendas. I'M STILL TALKING ABOUT VIETNAM YOU FOOL! BUSH WASN'T PRESIDENT DURING VIETNAM, SO WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME BEING HIS BODYGUARD! READ THE POST FIRST!!!
