Protest sign shown on the front page of CNN. So much stupidity compressed into one little space.

Who is "we"? Americans? Christians? Jews?

Is the WTC cite really the equivalent of "Mecca" for "us?" Does our religion center around the financial center of New York City?

Is our religion or nationality defined by a symbol of violent aggression and terrorism? Is that our "Mecca"?

After all the criticism leveled against Islamic nations, are we saying that our religious tolerance will be defined by *their* level of tolerance?

When we "export democracy," what are we sharing with the world? Are our Constitution and freedoms really just nothing but a different flavor of intolerance?

If "we" build a synagogue in Mecca, will we publicly condemn all the violence that is (or has been) carried out in the name of our religion and/or nation?

Etc.... the stupid continues, I just got tired of thinking about it.
