I don’t know why most everyone who responded to my question assumed I was defending bin Laden. The Sept. 11 attacks were a crime. Bin Laden hurt my country in the early ’90s more than he hurt yours (if you don’t know that, then it’s a big problem). Those who assumed I was defending the Palestinians, however, were not wrong. Just as Pearl Harbor drummed it into your minds that you were fighting for survival, the death of 2,000 Palestinian civilians since the start of the new Intifada did the same to Palestinians. But it’s important that people understand that most of us in the Mideast didn’t cheer on Sept. 11.
