This is America’s War
There is also the question of how our President has goaded our country into war. Americans ache from a place deep inside about the events of September 11th, it changed us all for better or worse. Oklahoma City opened our eyes to the devastation terrorism can bring, 9.11 brought it home and into our living rooms and hearts. Consistently, Bush has spoken about heroism and terror and the battle we must engage in against evil. Firemen and police officers who perished in the line of duty are lionized in the name of tax cuts for corporations, increased surveillance and privacy violations, and ultimately for an expansionist American policy with some upside that could throw the entire world order into even more chaos than it is in. To be frank, the Bush administration’s misuse of the thousands of innocents killed on 9.11 – men, women, and children – for its own craven purposes will be a blight on our nation that may take generations to remove.
