One quote that stuck out like a sore thumb was historian Daniel Boorstins' which stated, "Of all the nations in the world, the United Sates was built in nobody's imge." This article focuses on two defining ideals which are in constant conflict, "...community added to individualism..." It explains that when other countries have internal conflicts, most of the time they split into new nations, but not America, it is impossibly interwoven even in its hostilities. It pokes fun at the fact that in America, terrorism led to devastation-and unity. This article is a prime example of satire.
