Less Safe Six Years Later

Six years ago, a horrible event occurred. Terrorists murdered 3,000 people.

Six years later, the people of the United States are in more danger, in my opinion.

The Bush Administration has duped the American public into the needless invasion and occupation of Iraq, which most of the world views as unjustified. Indeed, 41% of American still believe that Iraq was directly involved in 9/11. Talk about a lie of Orwellian proportions!

The so-called “war in Iraq” increases anti-Americanism and thus increases anti-American terrorism. By tricking Americans into believing that Iraq was responsible for 9/11 and by using the weapons of mass destruction lie, the Bush Administration has tricked America into getting into an expensive “war” that will cost more than $1 trillion and that has reduced the safety of Americans.

Imagine if that money had been used to actually protect Americans and increase their safety. Imagine how many police that money could have hired. Imagine how many rapists and murderers it could have caught.

What do you think?
