Since I have a tendency to work late into the night/morning on my web sites, I was jarred out of my sleep by my wife who said that a plane had crashed into a WTC tower.
I immediately suspected foul play, having researched the WTC bombing from a decade earlier.
I watched in shock and awe, the second plane crash into the other WTC building. Such a bizarre act could not have been choreographed better. All of the eyes of the media and the world were focused on one of the WTC towers engulfed in flames, and then BAM! - the other tower is hit, in front of our eyes.
I noted right away that the media was rampant with false information.
Understandably, the nation, and much of the world, were united in their outrage and desire for retribution.
However, in the years to come, I feel that the leadership in our government has failed miserably in dealing with the catastrophe that was 9/11.
They have exploited a tragedy to enrich the military industrial complex (war profiteering corporations), totally destabilized the Middle East, and built an entirely new National Security infrastructure absent the traditional checks and balances.
Instead of destroying the bogeymen that they blamed for the destruction of 9/11 (remember how the Bin Laden family was granted safe passage out of the country even as domestic flights were all curtailed), the leadership of this country has created even more enemies, by following an agenda that has less to do with stopping terrorism than it does with establishing a dangerous, almost fascist, new world order.
How many more body bags and lies are you prepared to endure?
Less than a year ago, the President, the CIA, Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleeza Rice were telling us there were no secret CIA prisons. Now on the eve of the anniversary of 9/11 they acknowledge the prisons without explaining that they once again brazenly lied to the American people and the world about such important matters (no WMDs, etc...etc).
As a military veteran, I say, enough is enough.
The neo-cons had their chance. They have proven unequivocably that not only do they not have solutions to world problems, but that they are in fact a part of the problem.
Therefore, I say it's time to put an end to the madness and kick these criminals out...
