Switched headline, I didn't feel the youtube one was entirely accurate.

Giving a person a second chance isn't always a bad idea ,but you get the idea

Immediately after the 9/11 attacks, world opinion had turned in our favor, even in muslim countries. It wasn't until we started our push for an invasion of Iraq that the hatred got turbo-charged.

Most of the world had sympathy to our nation. It may be that there was more to 9-11 than the stated story. The 9-11 commission did not answer about 60% of the questions, and there was no third party analysis. We could have begun working with the world to have a more peaceful world. Not a more Fascist America.

We had the opportunity to work with the world. But the Neo-cons do not, would not want that. They wanted to move into Iraq. They wanted to get that Oil Pipe ran through Afghanistan. They did not want to take care of terrorism. They wanted to piggy-back their agendas on 9-11, and they did, and they go fatly richer off of it. When our economy slumped prior to 9-11, I remember some of these damn neo-cons talking about how a war could help the economy. They are such idealistic A$$holes.

If our country was not run by two sociopaths, one an idiot, the other an evil genius, we could have moved forward, possibly bringing us, and the whole world into a golden age. But, No, the idiot has to fight Saddam, the Secretary of State fought Afghanistan with Drug Lords as our partners, and without sufficient troups, nor securing the borders with Pakistan, and Iran, and the rest is history.

After 9-11, I wrote the White House, mind you that I am a little guy, not from a rich family, and not in any think tank, and I wrote saying that we need to carefully plan how we are going to invade Afghanistan because the whole world will be watching us, and that we do not want to have any Collateral Damages. I also stated that we need to employ the Afghani peoples. If we had done this, fought a war with minimal collateral damages, and employed the Afghani people we would have won the majority of the Afghanis over to us, and would have helped out a poor, war stricken nation.

I was absolutely against the Iraq war. It was amazing how we could hear rumblings about invading Iraq after 9-11. The Fascist that had their teeth into our executive branch, just had to try to pull off their Neo-con plan to get a foothold into the Middle East.

We can all see how this is working out. I could go on and on. Anyone who had tried to assuage the Fascist in our executive branch from behaving like fascist knows what the general gist of all of this. They are War Criminals. Plain and simple. I hope they are prosecuted some day. I hope the Republicans come to terms with what really happened.

What a wasted time.

Well the Fascist sure made lots of money on the backs of millions of people. Right now they are sitting pretty. I despise most of the Republicans. I wish I did not, but because they refuse to question the policies that have helped weaken our nation, I cannot help it. We need to desparately shift our courses in so many ways. There will not be their wonderful Armegeddon with J-s-s returning like some of those Republicans think. This is not going to be protection to Israel, as some of them think. This will not bring more petroleum to the US market, like some think.
