My opinion of the American public (people in general, really) is also not very high. I suppose these sentiments are all the more admirable coming from Michael Berg, but his views and conclusions are (or should be) obvious to everyone -- so while I find it somewhat encouraging that even a man whose son was beheaded on video can restrain himself from thirsting for vengeance, it's pretty depressing that so few people seem to agree with him.

It kind of reminds me of what Spielberg was trying to say with Munich in "have we become what we are trying to stop?" THe first article raises an interesting point.
