Suddenly, America is more than just the face of BushCo, world agression, pushing wars, a disappointing Obama, and crashing world economies.
Suddenly, it becomes clear that an act by one unknown burning man that swept through the Middle East is starting a blaze across the globe. Finally, that fire has reached Wall Street.
And there, a small group of protesters has managed to coalesce these disparate wild fires into one steady flame, burning even when the oil lamp seems empty... because they found the message and, in all its simple and solidifying beauty, we all understand it: STOP CORPORATE GREED.
I am an expat and today I met someone from the Middle East. We were walking our dogs and stopped to chat. She was happy to know I was an American and was excited to tell me that "your movement is going worldwide."
And suddenly, I was happy about my country in a way I haven't been in many years.
