"Why is It U.s. ctizen NEVER cared a hoot all the terrorist attacks against middle east populations where THOUSANDS up THOUSANDS have been killed over the decades, but when they hit the U.S.and killed UNDER 3,000 people, the Bush administration went into a frenzy of 'terrorism' and fanned it's flames? More people are killed every day in auto accidents that terrorists attacks. That attack had NOTHING to do with Iraq. The Bush administration used it as an excuse to attack Iraq."
Amen, brother.
And because our politicians have well learned that the sheep will accept almost anything as long as they can evoke sufficient fear by declaring a war on it, whether a war on drugs, a war on poverty, a war on illiteracy, or a war on terror. And because the puppeteers pulling Bush's strings wanted to garner favor and wealth for their M-I complex selves and cronies, and oil business selves and cronies.
