    To people like Carmina and those who would absolve Bush because of 911, take note:

    PNAC, a think tank with members like Karl Rove, and Donald Rumsfeld, among others who figured prominently in the Bush administration, sent a letter to President Clinton saying that the American people would not agree to act to remove Sadam Hussien from power with out some catalyzing event like a "new Pearl Harbor". I think now we can say "mission accomplished".

    Now if people would get over their love affair with George Bush and the republican party, maybe we could have a real investigation into what happened over the last 4 years.
