Yeah, it is a great piece. I didn't mean to diminish it ... it's just making the rounds on email right now. It was written in reaction to the bashing of America about the Vietnam War, but it is still quite true.

There's also a fake prophecy by Nostradamus making the rounds about "two twin brothers" falling. It is, in toto ... false. Someone just made it up and attributed it to Nostradamus.
Disregard it if you receive it in email. I've gotten three copies of Sinclair's speech and at least four copies of the Nostradamus "prophecy"

But like you said, it is a shame that it takes a national disaster to bring our country together. We shine in adversity. So often, we focus on trivial things and forget what's important.
