Yeah, I kinda had it figured out back then as well.

I'm guessing by your instance that you're Canadian?

I was just a (European) kid in 2001, and I believed profoundly that Bush was evil and incompetent, but this did not extend to America as such. I didn't understand enough of American history yet to understand that the current situation was not an anomaly. I don't think I truly understood before after Obama.
