On 9/11
I will forever be tired of September 11.
First because it never should have happened. If we merely had in place just a few of the most basic rules of safety and security that Europe and, honestly, the rest of the world has had in place for at least decades, it would never, never have happened.
Second, because it's been so politicized and used as a political football by the very Repubican party who was in charge of our same safety and security at the time, it makes me nauseous.
Third, simply because so many people died and for no reason and that it's just so disgusting and sad.
Pocket knives and box cutters were allowed on airplanes. And George W. Bush "kept us safe for 8 years"?

Hi There!! Yes, 9/11 was used as a political football by people with agendas that had nothing to do with that disaster. As even George Bush finally had to acknowledge, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11--so why did we invade and occupy the country? It was as if FDR responded to Pearl Harbor by invading Mexico. The conservatives have done to the issue of terrorism what they did to the issue of crime: Made these serious issues seem illegitimate by cynically exploiting them for alterior motives. Take care.

Well, first, welcome back. I've honestly missed you. (Where have you been?--not that it's any of my business).
You make great, further points, especially on FDR.
Great to hear from you again.
Dear Mr. Kevin: Delighted to be back!! Buffy and I have been busy slaying vampires, so that cut down on my ability to post on blogs!! Take care!! Sincerely, Respectfully and In Christ, Ernest Evans
