Forgive me for being "Unsympathetic"
I am just confused here. The world trade center attack was terrible, and teh people who did it were terrible. But, lets face it: 200 people died. 200. More people die in car accidents than that in a week, but yet the US government hasnt put the fucking money into funds neccisarry to prevent these kind of things. We are so oblivious to so many things, and we were all so worried that another terrorist attack would occur and that we were at risk. So, the us took action against iraq because everyone was so spooked about another attack. We have spent so much money, money that could have gone to charities for orphaniges, cancer, heart disease, alzhiemers, diabetes, safer roads, less polution. but no, we spent the billions in a hopeless atempt to capture a terrorist. Next thing you know we are in iraq, for oil. Our government, in an exscuse to hide the fact that we were willing to sacrafice our troops and kill Iraqi citizens, told us that Iraq was holding nucleur weapons, and that they had proof of this. thousands of our troops have been killed overseas, thousands of irawi citizens, in an attempt to prevent 200 more people dieing. Can you not see the irony? The news tries to block it out, they will have an hour long story of a kidnapping, but a brief note about the 20 soldiers who were killed in a carbombing today.
My overall message is that even though the trade center attack was terrible, it wasnt all that bad when you look at all the other things going around in the world. Bush has got his head so far up his ass that he is to busy killing his own people in iraq to look around and see that our country was just hit by hte worst natural disaster in its history! Did bush think that he was going to trick us into thinking that things were better when he said he would reccomend new orleans as one of the places to go this spring break? Things are not better, they are the same as they were the day after katrina hit, just no water. Homeless little boys and girls but hey, this doesnt suprise me, after all, the person "taking care of this disaster" is the same fucking retard who sat around in a kindergarden class reading about a black goat and wondering "what the fuck do I do?"
We are throwing money in a botomless pit in iraq, but bush doesnt seem to realize that, he thinks that we are still "being welcomed as liberators" LOL. What was his plan, come into a country that hates us and say "Hey, were gonna change your government"? Who wouldnt be pissed?
We could be using our money on more beneficial causes.
Freedom isnt free, but neither is a war.
