Now our rights being pissed. NSA wiretapping under Bush. Patriot Act. Military Commissions act denying a trial to anyone Bush rules an enemy combatant (american or foreigner).

9/11? Only about 3000 people died! Car crashes kill more than 40,000 people every year (more than 3000 every month)! More than 50% of those are alcohol related!

Ever hear of 9/11? Never happened right? The Congress gave the authority to the President 98-0 and 100-0 after 9/11. So he is using it. Thank god he is. No attacks on US soil since then. I wonder why?

We have more problems to deal with in this country when it comes to 20-22,000 Americans are murdered PER YEAR. Crime outweighs terrorism 100 to 1 on any day of the week, considering in the last 20 years, we've had 4000 deaths to do it. In that same timespan, around 500,000 Americans have been murdered. Therefore, Go do some math and you my friend will realize how foolish your statement sounds....Hence, we need to focus our efforts on real problems and not turning small ones into a way to fear monger the public into a drooling stupor.

There's a huge difference. It's called blaming the REAL ENEMY (IE. Japan) and wrongly pointing the finger at a country who had nothing to do with said attack (IRAQ). Obviously, you failed geography and English to not know that the attackers were 90 Percent Saudi, with the others being from Yemen and Omen.

Maybe you forgot or didn't know that FDR a DEMOCRATIC President put out massive rumors that Germany was going to ally itself with Mexico and attack us from the south. FDR was desperate to get into WW2 in Europe but was not allowed to by Congress.

Moon,

Ignorance is bliss bud. First, JAPAN was the focus of WW2. Do you not recall the Atomic Bomb. The first time such device was EVER used in history. Obviously not. WW2 was a World War. Hence, a war on all fronts. Obviously, you skipped WORLD HISTORY. We had FULL SCALE invasions on the Japanese. What naive world are you living in? My grandfather was in that war! I guess he just made up his whole service of being on an air craft carrier attacking the Japanese.... Amazing, people like you still exist.

said by jc100 :

As for the Germans. We attacked them only after our allies were being hammered. A matter of fact, we ignored the war for several years. Hitler had started his campaign in 1937 with the bombing of Guernica. It wasn't until 1941 when Europe was in FULL FLEDGED WAR and our allies needed help did we enter. Obviously, we stuck out of it because it had nothing to do with us in the beginning. However, when we saw our allies needed our help, we did react. Yet, there still lies a difference. GERMANS WERE COMMITTING GENOCIDE! That's something that should NEVER be tolerated.

Now, if you would have said we should have entered Iraq in the 1980s when Saddam was, you would have had my full support and I'm sure the worlds. However, to make Saddam a scapegoat for 9/11 twenty years later DOESN'T WORK. SORRY! Obviously, Bush wanted to blame someone for the attacks, and he failed geography when trying to do so. Once again, there were like 17 Saudis and a few from Yemen and Omen. NOT A SINGLE IRAQI. Simply violating the UN resolutions didn't amount to going to war. Guess what, we found nothing when we did enter. Surprise Surprise. I guess he had nothing after all. So my point stands. Two different wars and two different circumstances. The fact of the matter, you need to learn history better, so you don't try to meld the two together like they are the least bit similar.

As for Muslims condemning the attacks, you speak for them all? Strange. I do recall several Arab nations condemning 9/11. Egypt is one of our strongest allies as is Saudi Arabia. Then again, when did Christianity Condemn Bosnia? Christian Serbs slaughtered 200,000 Muslims and buried them in mass graves. Please remind me where the church spoke on that. Better yet, Christianity has the Holocaust as Hitler was a Catholic. He used the Church to his benefit when killing the Jews. Let's not forget the Spanish Inquisition where 100s of thousands were slaughtered in the name of Christianity. Best yet, and most famous, the crusades had the Christians Murdering Muslims yet again. Ah yes, good old Christianity and its blood filled past. I don't remember reading too many condemnations by the Church on these acts either. Should I conclude then that all of Christianity supports this barbarity and I have more to fear from them than the Muslims. After all, Christianity has murdered millions in the name of it's religion, too.

Please, leave parties out of this. Democrats and republicans have changed views countless times. I currently consider myself a Democrat, but I would have fully supported Lincoln in his era on his anti-slavery position (not so much his suspension of habeas corpus (much like our current President), though...)
