The Real Lessons of 9/11
To continue on a theme, here's is Mike Gravel's incredibly cogent take on the events and aftermath of 9/ll.
...I know that our government was partly at fault by engaging in polices that inspired it, failing to take aggressive steps to stop it, and sacrificing the liberty and safety of our citizens after it. It's time we find out why and do something about it.Sadly, Mike and Dennis Kucinich have been relegated to also rans because of their obvious inability to break through the marketing hype and get themselves into the White House.
Even my very own Barrack Obama has been backsliding into traditional campaigning memes and means. His recent rhetoric sounds hauntingly similar to Hillary, who sounds hauntingly similar to a Republican-lite automaton barking jingoistic phrases designed to capture disenchanted Republicans streaming away from the GOP.
Platitudes are not what we need from our candidates. We need specific and defined plans for reversing the damage of 8 years of the Bush Regime. We will never learn any lessons from 9/11 until we stop pursuing the failed policies that led to it and those that have sprung from it.0 Comments | Link to this post posted by Teddy 1:53 PM
