Memories of the destruction of the World Trade Center are still etched, as if with acid, in the minds of New Yorkers. Very few people are dovish when it comes to the war on terror. But Mr. Bush's war in Iraq is another matter.

"Our soldiers being over there make it worse here," said Michael Springfield, a 32-year-old engineer from Brooklyn.

There is still no indication that the Bush administration recognizes the utter folly of its war in Iraq, which has been like a constant spray of gasoline on the fire of global terrorism. What was required in the aftermath of Sept. 11 was an intense, laserlike focus by America and its allies on Al Qaeda-type terrorism.

Instead, the Bush crowd saw its long dreamed of opportunity to impose its will on Iraq, which had nothing to do with the great tragedy of Sept. 11. Many thousands have paid a fearful price for that bit of ideological madness.

2. What amazes me is that there are still a lot of zombies

in this country who haven't woken up from their catatonic state yet.

[Zorbuddha]

3. Just what I was thinking.

I'm going to the "U.S. Foreign Policy in Shambles..." thread to say it.

11. Zombies or just simple racists?

Their thinking: "brown people attacked us on 911 so we should just kill brown people wherever, yee-haw"

4. Unfortunately,

this criminal cabal is devoid of conscious, dignity, honor, compassion or statesmanship.

If they had a conscious... they'd all drown themselves in the Potomac for the pain & suffering they impose on Iraqis, our troops, the American people, the environment and the world.

To all those security-conscious, morally-upstanding (ex-drunk born agains), one issue (anti-choice), greedy (more tax cuts 4 me me me), cheap labor outsourcing bush voters out there... phuck you. Welcome to fascist america you ignorant, superficial, unethical, slugs. You got the government you asked for.

5. they are all mentally ill and need to be stopped, rounded up and evaluated

and appropriately medicated... then held for and tried for crimes against humanity...

[katsy]

6. I could not agree more.

10. How about giving them jobs cleaning latrines

in a third world country - and when they're done with that each day, they can nurse the sick and dying.

7. It's all so obvious

to so many. When will justice be served?
