2. We're not killing them. We're LIBERATING them, nor are we
oppressing them. We're giving them freedom. Great leader says so.

4. To be truly even for 9/11, we'd have to incarcerate the Bush Admin.

8. We've perpetrated 385 equivalent 911s on Iraq, a nation that never had
anything to do with the attack on America.

2600 US dead in 911, out of 260,000,000 =911.

Using US population for Iraq, that's 38 equivalent 911s.

Using Iraq's population of 26,000,000, that's 385 equivalent 911s.

Just the initial 3-week invasion, with an estimated 30,000 Iraqis killed, is equal to 115 911 attacks.

And Americans wonder why they hate us...

12. They hate us for our FREEDOMS. Bush*Co has stated so often
enough that the kool-aid drinking populace has accepted it without question anymore. What you have laid out here has no place in their thought processes. Nope. Instead of being enraged at the lying thugs in the Bush** administration we must misdirect that anger and still hate France.

9. Eternal War
Mo -- I think you raise a good point. Certainly, Americans, and the civilized world, were truly united in desiring justice against the perpetrators of this horrific attack.

But that seems to have never been the point....

As soon as the smoke started clearing in NYC and DC -- the NeoCons were on tv, talking about WWIV and transformation of the Middle East. Bait and switch. They used the tragedy of Sept 11 to dignify their long-cherished plans of eternal war.

And note how the enemy keeps changing. Because they require enemies to justify their rotten existances. The eternal war will wear many faces to keep it going, including the faces of Americans who oppose Bush.

Sept 11 has ceased to be a real event, but is merely a symbol for these people, to mean what they wish it to mean. They have hijacked our national tragedy to advance their dreams of world conquest and to enhance their power, or their feelings of empowerment (i.e. the people stupid enough to go along with this stuff who do not benefit from it).

Huge movements, and extremely emotionally charged "causes" have all come together at the same time, like the ever advancing waves of a tsunami. We're living in a age of madness. We are watching an awful history unfolding before our eyes. It will eventually come to an end, the question is how long it will take, how much blood and chaos will people tolerate before they face the lies.

10. I don't think so, but the * Administration now only brings it up ...
Edited on Tue Mar-15-05 11:13 AM by ElectroPrincess
(911! 911!) three to four times in each speech. Much decreased from the umpteen - seemingly every other sentence, from a year ago.

The Executive Branch is shameless ... whenever any Bushites starts to pout or in some fashion, not get their *exact* way on matters, they bring up, "911". :puke:
