Why is the Bush administration aiding the terrorists?
This is the question the media SHOULD be asking. If the goal of the terrorists is to disrupt society and keep people from going on with their normal lives, isn't the Bush administration furthering this goal?

The terrorists have no media outlet, but here they are providing one, trying to strike fear and terror into the hearts of everyone.

There have been terrorists in the past and terrorists in other countries. Have you ever seen this level of hysteria before? Please correct me if I'm wrong because there are plenty here with a firmer grasp on history.

Granted, I think this is all BS. They are using the media to do psy ops on the masses, just like they did in the build up to invading Iraq.

But, why aren't more people questioning how this is doing nothing more than furthering the goals of the terrorists.

1. An atmosphere...
of fear keeps the populance in line...IF they are not informed, somehow, that such fears are unfounded.
So many questions to be asked of this Administration. :(

2. Fight Terror!
Vote Democrat!

Really, I agree....terror has always been in this world. The difference is, Bush has pushed it to mythical proportions.

Kerry will change the whole dynamic....he will fight them as the criminals that they are, using international policing efforts and he'll go after their financial assets, too. Remember Bush's promoise to "drain the financial swamp" after 9/11? What happened there? I've yet to see any action from this administration on freezing assets of AQ backers. Is it because that'd be hitting a little to close to home for George?

Bush is a puppet of Big Oil. Big Oil creates terrorists to maintain their grip on the oil spigot. Seems the only beneficiaries of this "War on Terror" is Bush and AQ. Sorta a mutually co-enabling, dysfunctional couple.

4. They depend on each other to stay in business.
No "terrorists" to "defend" against, no Boob-in-Chief.

No BushCorp and the al-Queyda recruters have a rough time stirring up the exploited to join up.
