    The difference is clear

    To me, the difference is very clear. The WTC victims died because Bush ignored a warning that terrorists were plotting to use airliners in an attack. The soldiers in Iraq died because Bush sent them into an unnecessary war against an imaginary threat of WMDs. Can't you see the difference?
