6. They aren't mutually exclusive. One preceded the other.

9/11 caused more harm to this country because it:

1. destroyed buildings, airplanes, and many lives and families

2. fostered the racism of muslims and subsequent violent acts here towards innocent muslims

3. was used as a tool by Bush to attack Iraq, destroy its buildings and families and lives,

4. enabled Bush to destroy our reputation worldwide, divide our country, and subsequently introduce bills such as the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions ACT whereby we happily exchange our freedoms and human rights for bogus security. As a bonus, the level of threat to our security from terrorism has gone UP and not down.

5. allowed Bush to give no-bid contracts to his oil buddies that have cost our taxpayers billions of billions of dollars. necessary social programs for such things as abused women's shelters and childrens headstart programs have been stripped as a result.

etc.

9/10 was the last day of the America I knew.

9/11 was one of the most important and powerful days in our country's history. it was the catalyst that instantly transformed shrub from a bumbling idiot laughinstock to a bumbling idiot but crazed powerful emporer. he has impacted our country and other countries in countless negative ways, thanks to the power he seized from 9/11.

8. 9/11 by far.

9/11 is the reason they could even entertain writing the MCA, let alone entering it into Congress and getting it passed.

9/11 is there go to guy.
