   Oh?   
      
   "Since free-enterprise capitalism is the heart and soul of the USA, we   
   would never refer to the numerous organized-crime families (whose   
   knives, guns, and drugs kill or enslave tens of thousands of fellow   
   Americans) as "terrorists" ---they are businessmen!"   
      
      
   You not only /SPECIFICALLY/ referred to yourself as a "fellow American"   
   you led off with "we" when referring to US!   
      
   The rest of your filthy rant against capitalism is risible in its own right.

   You should not have used the term "we" when referring to ANYTHING American!   
      
   > but organized crime harms "fellow Americans", ie their co-citizens,   
   neighbours, people in the same community.   
      
   Oh there's a news flash!   
      
   > I did not intend to appear American myself.   
      
   Your /words/ say otherwise.

   What's clear is that you were caught in a repugnant LIE.   
      
   Instead of apologizing UN_conditionally you instead rationalized, tried   
   to revise yourself, and basically came off looking like the kid with his   
   hand in the cookie jar.   
      
   A SAD performance, truly sad...   
      
   Out.
