(7,672 posts)9/11 was all that was needed when Bush decided to go after Iraq, which had nothing to do with it at all.
That was the surrender of the United States to the terrorists and to the corporate fatcats who have profited selling useless war shit at huge prices rather than having to actually work for a living.
9/11 was dramatic, but a loser in the casualty sense. 17 TIMES as many Americans die by drunk drivers EVERY year as died in 9/11, a singular event where the purchase of plane tickets and box cutters have cost us TRILLIONS "fighting" terror. You can't wage war on a noun.
And that's not the highest preventable death toll, either.
The war was over 9/11, and the United States surrendered.
Now it's time to bust out of this rich man's profit-making prison.
