Er is niets veranderd in de VS sinds admiraal Perry in 1853 Japanse havens bombardeerde onder het mom van menslievendheid.
De VS geschiedenis is een lange reeks van September 11's:
- 1905 Havana harbour
- 1917 Zimmermann telegram
- 1941 Pearl Harbour
- 1967 Liberty ongeluk
- Ton Kin Gulf incident
- Sept 11 2001
