Quote of the day--on George W. Bush and 9/11
"Even if Bush could be forgiven for taking America, and much of the rest of the world, to war on false pretenses, and for misrepresenting the cost of the venture, there is no excuse for how he chose to finance it. His was the first war in history paid for entirely on credit. As America went into battle, with deficits already soaring from his 2001 tax cut, Bush decided to plunge ahead with yet another round of tax “relief” for the wealthy." --Joseph E. Stiglitz, Project Syndicate, Op-Ed, "The Price of 9/11", posted at Truthout.org, Wednesday 7 September 2011. Link to original post: http://www.truth-out.org/price-911/1315403131

Those poor souls who lost their lives that day are probably spinning like dreidels, looking at the acrimony which throughs its dark shadow across what for one, brief, shinning moment stood together.
A pox on both houses for allowing what has happened to happen.
Pogo was correct, we have met the enemy and he is us.
Seems true, on all counts. Sadly, it also seems we need the communists back so we have a common, outside enemy. Instead, we fight each other. Crazy.
