You must be French - your English skills are poor.

He was not changing their nationality to suit his purposes, but rather,
he was honoring them by pointing out the fact that their suffering was
common.

So, tell me, Noel, *are* you French?
You must be, because your statement
was rather arrogant.

Stephen,

Noel, IIRC, is British. The English he used is quite proper, as well.

Also, it's arrogant of US to think that those foreign nationals that died in
the 9/11 attacks should/would be proud to be 'honorary Americans'. What's
wrong with people from other countries being proud of their own country? We
primarily tout the virtues of the US because it is our home (not only
because of our relative freedom). There are other free countries in the
world, and those citizens are proud to be citizens of their respective home
countries. Even Soviet citizens under the old communist system were proud
and supportive of their home, even while most likely being unhappy with it's
government.

Just something to think about.
