First, What would have been the most Just, Send a Message Response ? We all know what we have now Received from it all. Much Treasure and Many Lives Gone (I'm minus a Nephew at Jalalabad), along with enriching such private companies such as Halliburton.
Instead of going all out Crazy Revenge, Blindly Waling at Whatever (and I was also angry at first looking for any Villain). Wouldn't a better resolve been to say (and we had the world's complete sympathy at the moment of 9-11, yet now having their rebuke) to say We want to FIND, KILL, CAPTURE, and HANG (from a Gallows at the World Trade Center Site, any and ALL THOSE that had Any Prior Knowledge of the Plan for 9-11 and Did Not Come Forward ahead of Time and Disclose It ! Yet even Now We only 'Hold', still Not Dead, in Guantanamo Several that fit that definition, and I believe Our Muslim President gave several back to the Taliban.
I personally think it could of been Laura Bush that went to George and said "Here's a Chance to Permanently Get Rid of those Terrible Burqas" !
One more thing I have against G.W. Bush is his Caving to those that didn't care if those nations of Iraq and Afghanistan had ''RELIGIOUS FREEDOM" ! Whenever WE Vanquish another Nation, WE must ensure that they too have the Bill of Rights which is Universal, Inalienable for all Mankind !
So his Administration told them that in the Constitutions we were setting up for them, " Islam will Hold The Highest Place before all other Religions".
That right there just about assured the Results we see Right Now !
Don't blame me. I've run for Congress twice and State Assembly several times more, but the dumb-ass Voters of NW Missouri voted for someone else.
