in this race, and I believe he's going to run with the "truth" that the American people NEED TO HEAR, and are starving to hear. There has been such a reality disconnect ever since 9/11, and so many people know it, intuitively. They've just needed a LEADER to get hold of some press time and TELL 'em the truth!
There's another HUGE truth out there that needs to be said, and I wish Kerry would say it:
The "War on Terror" is a bush/media/republican/military-industrial complex created hysteria. The American people need to be comforted. They need to be given a NEW perspective on the world they live in. They need the voice of SANITY to intrude on their nightmare.
The bush "leadership" fanned flames under the tragedy of the WTC attacks. There were 19....NINETEEN....individuals, with the equivalent of "mob" connections, that have been ALLOWED power over the world, thanks to the hysterical neocons. Our soldiers, and thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens, are ALL DEAD because of the neocon reaction to 9/11.
Theirs was NOT THE PROPER WAY to respond. You can't "BOMB" a "terrorist country". There are no "terrorist countries". There are criminals in EVERY country, and there are countries that are different, and less Democratic, than we are. But nobody goes around bombing the ghettos in America simply because there are criminals who live there, much less taking over the U.S. government because Timothy McVeigh bombed a building in Oklahoma.
Bush, and the people he surrounds himself with, have ALL profited politically by whipping the American public into a war frenzy, due to 19 MEN WITH BOX-CUTTERS. Terrorism was no bigger on 9/11 than it was in the 1993 WTC attack. The perpetrators killed more people and destroyed more property this time, and had they lived, they should have been convicted and severely punished. New security measures and security personnel should have been instituted, and new ways devised to PROTECT our freedoms, NOT take them away. Why have the American people been PUNISHED by the same administration that didn't guard our skies and borders?
In other words, Bush has done a horrible disservice to Americans in the way he handled the ENTIRE tragedy. He has used it to exploit Americans, to make money for his corporate supporters, and has used it to destabilize our country much further. A REAL leader would have sought to stabilize people and calm the hysteria, rather than exploit it.
Kerry needs to step in and call bush's bluff on this charade, and lay the blame at bush's feet for creating new terrorists, and terrorist sympathizers, in the Mideast since 9/11, rather than responding appropriately to the attacks in the first place.
19 men with box cutters is NOT a country invading our shores. I wish people with this insane mindset would get a GRIP!!!!
I wish Krugman could have pointed this out, too, to help get some perspective on how OUTRAGEOUS bush's behavior has been.
