Americans are infinitely spoiled and ungrateful. As the atrocities of WWII unfolded, major news media, military and governmental leaders refused to acknowledge the evidence because we didn't have the stomach for the truth.
Not much has changed. We still complain about many things that others around the world would call a luxury (such as traffic jams, waiting in a drive-thru, getting our new shoes or clothes soiled in a downpour, being served poorly at a nice restaurant).
God, forgive us for our lack of care, concern and compassion and for our lack of prayer and gratitude.

Exquisite Timing: USAT Runs Op-Ed on 'Beware the Christian Extremists'
Sandwiched in between two domestic terrorist attacks by Islamic extremists in Canada during the past three days, USA Today ran a Tuesday op-ed which appeared in Wednesday's print edition by Mary Zeiss Stange called "Beware the Christian Extremists."
With all due respect, ma'am, we've got bigger worries. But in Ms. Stange's world, Christian "religious extremism taken to potentially lethal ends" is really the "primary threat to homeland security." She castigates the news media, which in her view "have been remarkably slow when it comes to zeroing in on the pervasive reality of hate-based Christian extremism," because "It is easier, after all, to blame the un-American other."
