911
I would be remiss if I did not post today. I have nothing to say about the events of four years ago that hasn't been said of course. It was a weird morning, and a weird day, and things have been weird ever since.
My political views are left of center, not surprisingly, but they were forced firmly that way by the doings of the present politicos after 911. I thought the Neocons looked great on TV after the attack -- so American in a white male sort of way, go man go! Let's whoop 'em!
Then it turned into Iraq with Saddam put in as substitute villian for Bin Laden in a breathtaking sleight of hand. I'm sorry, but with my own cognitive reasoning I concluded that the War in Iraq was just a big land-grab, and I haven't seen one shred of evidence to make me think otherwise.
So now Mother Nature has hit us. Damn it, the other thing was great because we had this tall evil guy in a turban and a pointy beard what done it. What's his name, Ahab the Arab or something? I hear he lives in Iraky-town with the Eye o' Tola Sodom Whoozits and Shake Yerbootie. Let's go blow 'em up because we got blowed up and if we don't we might end up payin' three bucks for a dang gallon of gasoline!
I wrongly thought our own security would take priority, but it looks to me that we're still pretty vulnerable and certainly unprepared for the aftermath of a disaster. Oh yeah, let's not play the Blame Game (hey, that's a good one -- it rhymes and everything, say it over and over until we blame it on the Mayor and the Governor and Michael Brown and people for being poor and DING! we win the Blame Game).
When asked about resources going to Iraq when he finally dropped by the hurricane devastation, Bush said we've got to keep the "War on Terror" going. If you ask me, those American people looked pretty terrified waiting around down there. Nice job Dub, glad things are workin' out for ya.
